G\'en\'eration de bases de donn\'ees images IR sous contraintes avec variabilit\'e thermique intrins\`eque des cibles

In this communication, we propose a method which permits to simulate images of targets in infrared imagery by superimposition of vehicle signatures in background, eventually with occultants. We develop a principle which authorizes us to generate different thermal configurations of target signatures. This method enables us to easily generate huge datasets for ATR algorithms performance evaluation.

IR image databases generation under target intrinsic thermal variability constraints

This paper deals with the problem of infrared image database generation for ATR assessment purposes. Huge databases are required to have quantitative and objective performance evaluations. We propose a method which superimpose targets and occultants on background under image quality metrics constraints to generate realistic images. We also propose a method to generate target signatures with intrinsic thermal variability based on 3D models plated with real infrared textures.

METRIC: a complete methodology for performances evaluation of automatic target Detection, Recognition and Tracking algorithms in infrared imagery

In this communication, we deal with the question of automatic target detection, recognition and tracking (ATD/R/T) algorithms performance assessment. We propose a complete methodology of evaluation which approaches objective image datasets development and adapted metrics definition for the different tasks (detection, recognition and tracking). We present some performance results which are currently processed in a French-MoD program called 2ACI (``Acquisition Automatique de Cibles par Imagerie``).
