Sensor data integration for real-time environmental analysis
Vibeke Libby · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1990
Efficient high-speed algorithms are in great demand for applications in which the geometrical configuration of the environment must be assessed before a subsequent move can be performed. The knowledge of the spatial configuration of the object distribution is either a priori or obtained from fused and converted sensor data. The new method can: (1) readily implement known and new sensor data inputs (2) process the resulting geometry in three-dimensional space for location and intersect and (3) permit a system response with a best path in less than a second. Due to its simple architecture the system can treat threats targets terrain and moving objects in the same hardware. 1.
