Abstract
A novel data processing technique is provided for detecting, locating and identifying targets from a plurality of images generated by an imaging sensor such as an imaging lidar system. The present invention employs physical models of signals produced by target objects of interest. Such a model based detection system globally processes frames of data to determine the existence and location of component elements that characterize the target being modeled.
