The Air Force Research Laboratory Sensor Directorate Automatic Target Recognition Technology (ATR) Division works on a wide range of problems on computer vision including registration, detection, tracking, and recognition. Dr. Greg Arnold will give an overview of the ATR Center to include persistence and layered sensing concepts. While not new concepts, they are only recently becoming the operating tenants for generation-after-next exploitation research. The goal of this talk is to motivate this paradigm shift and to start exploring how it really changes the problems we need to solve. Ms. Olga Mendoza will discuss registration approaches and problems in this context. We’ll also discuss opportunities for working with AFRL in various roles.

 

SPEAKERS BIOGRAPHY

D. Gregory Arnold earned his BSEE at the University of Dayton (Dayton, Ohio), and his Masters and Ph.D. in EE from the University of Virginia, (Charlottesville, Virginia).

 He is the government lead of the ATR Center at the Air Force Research Laboratory working at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, (Dayton, Ohio) in the Sensor ATR Division. His research interests include a wide range of theoretical and practical issues in invariance, computer vision, statistics, and signal processing as applied to radar, ladar, video, infrared, and spectral sensors.

Olga Mendoza received her B.S. in Mathematics and Economics from the University of Puget Sound in 1998. After graduating, Ms. Mendoza worked in the Information Technology field in the Seattle area for five years, working for two Fortune 500 companies—Weyerhaeuser Company and Nordstrom Inc. Olga received her M.S. in Mathematics from the University of Kentucky in 2004. She is currently a Researcher at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Sensors Directorate in Dayton, Ohio focusing on image registration and sensor resource management.
