TSC is developing automatic terrain characterization and feature identification
algorithms that process FOPEN SAR imagery. FOPEN SAR is able to penetrate
the foliage canopy to detect hidden targets and facilities. TSCs
advanced algorithms can extract information on roads, ground slope and
tree size/density to assess vehicle mobility and thereby reduce the
target search area. The algorithms are based on our extensive past work
in automatic terrain classification using remote sensing imagery. TSC
is also developing novel techniques to detect moving targets beneath
the canopy using FOPEN SAR imagery.
