Summary on Grant Application Form |

The proposal aims to develop computer vision algorithms for automated terrain analysis from aerial radar imagery. This is a problem of key commercial and military importance, with applications in areas such as automated cartography and airborne vehicle guidance. The adopted methodology is statistical and will heavily exploit enhanced variants of the EM algorithm to control the extraction of elevation features and the fitting topographic models to the data. The project has two distinct sub-strands. The first of these is to develop statistical algorithms for extracting elevation features and delivering raw topographic primitives. The second aspect of the project concerns the registration of D cartographic models against the extracted surface features. The perceived novelty of the proposed research resides in the development of advanced statistical algorithms for D terrain analysis using radar images as input.
