(nsd1)Imaging Science and Technology Initiative
EMSL Project ID
2261
Abstract
This capability development initiative delivers two primary outcomes to the Laboratory: 1) A new capability for the Laboratory in imaging science as a scientific discipline and technology development arena. This new capability in Imaging Science will benefit many research areas in the Laboratory due to the wide-spread use of imagery to analyze data. The Initiative addresses the new class of complex imagery problems arising from the availability (fusion) of multi-sensor, multi-temporal, (multiple) ever increasing spectral bands, varying spatial scales (pixel sizes) and dimensions, and the characterization of dynamic, time-dependent features, 2) An integrated suite of software tools that enable scientists and decision makers in many disciplines to extract, integrate, update, visualize, and interrogate features through rapid process, analysis, and interpretation of multi-modality imagery to meet their needs and mission requirements. These objectives will be met by conducting research and technology development in the following five areas that are common to many imaging applications:Fundamental imaging science and image processing theories, Phenomenology (sensor physics interactions), Image registration and calibration methods, Feature extraction, Data fusion and decision support. Implementation of the expected technologies for many of our clients' real-world applications rapidly moves and requires the solution into the realm of high performance computing.
