Introduction
This conference deals with algorithmic and experimental approaches for distinguishing the weak signal of a target from a cluttered background of images covering the spectral region from the visible up to the thermal infrared. Making this distinction requires characterization of the target properties and characterization of the backgrounds. Knowledge of target and background signatures is essential for various applications such as systems engineering and evaluation (e.g. electro-optical sensors or for camouflage design), operational planning and development of ATR algorithms. The conference also covers methods for assessing the influence of signature reduction and signature management at different levels such as platform signature, tactical application and operational capabilities.
