Abstract: We propose to integrate and extend multiple capabilities developed under multiple other government-funded R&D programs to create a unique system for multi-modal sensor exploitation, focused on real-time tracking of activities and intent of persons of interest. Our approach will be implemented as a set of plug-ins to an associative database framework for integrated management of large volumes of multi-source data, cross-indexed with analyst and machine-generated annotations and analyses. Key new capabilities will include 1) automation support for object recognition, target tracking, sensor cross-cueing, and 4D scene reconstruction from multiple, possibly overlapping, video sources, supplemented by other INT's (e.g., audio, analyst chat), and 2) tools for collaborative frame-level annotation/tagging and semi-automated summarization of video streams.
Benefits: Our proposed technology will enable small groups of analysts to efficiently exploit all available sensors to accurately track activities and intent of persons of interest in real time and conduct forensic analyses. This capability has immediate applications to tracking of high-value individuals and to facility security.
