Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate multi-spectral tracking. Various algorithms
were investigated and developed to enhance the contrast between target and non-target
classes. Different tracking algorithms were implemented on the resulting grayscale input.
A physical tracking system consisting of a video input processor and DSP was designed
and built to implement algorithms and investigate the viability of realtime multi-spectral
tracking.
It is illustrated that conventional intensity tracking clouds the available information
and that by studying various spectral inputs information is extracted more efficiently from
the available data.
