Abstract

When testing weapon systems, full motion video of the test article is among the data collected. However, in practice, such video is generally degraded due to environmental conditions between the imaging system and the subject. Digital processing techniques have been developed that have demonstrated the ability to reconstruct high-resolution imagery from environmentally degraded videos but to date these have primarily been applied to surveillance applications or stationary targets. This reconstruction becomes significantly more complex when targets are fast moving, and real position information is required (rather than simply improved image quality). In this project, we will adapt software that has been demonstrated for surveillance applications to the unique needs of the test and evaluation community. The technology delivered will be designed to improve the quality of the imagery collected and support the collection of Time Space Position Information (TSPI).
