Energid Technologies received a two-year follow-on Phase II SBIR contract from the Missile Defense Agency to develop model-based 3D tracking and identification algorithms. The approach uses 3D models of object families to automatically construct identification algorithms for ladar and intensity sensor data. Single, dual, and multichannel imagery is supported. The system will identify an unknown object as one of up to 150 family types using three spatial stages: segmentation, initial identification, and refined identification. Spatial results will be combined using Multiple Hypothesis Tracking tailored to 3D reasoning. In addition to type, the system will identify the position, orientation, and geometry. It will execute quickly by performing calculations on low-cost graphics hardware. The identification system will be delivered as a reusable C++ software toolkit, including approximately 500 C++ classes that can be subclassed to change behavior. Software modules will be configurable using the Extensible Markup Language (XML) to exchange run time for accuracy.
