Systems and methods for identifying targets among non-targets with a plurality of sensor vehicles
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- directing sensors in a plurality of sensor vehicles to receive images from differing substantially non-overlapping assigned locations of a target region;
generating detection lists by any one or more of the sensor vehicles when a potential target is identified within a field-of-view of the one or more sensor vehicles; and
combining the detection lists to identify actual targets by comparison with an object map.

Abstract
A plurality of sensor vehicles collect imaging data from an assigned location of a target region having targets and non-targets. The imaging data may be combined based on its location and the combined data is matched to a threat object map to identify the actual targets from the non-targets. In some embodiments, the sensor vehicles may be redirected to collect velocity and/or range information on the identified targets.

15. A system for identifying targets from non-targets comprising:
-
a plurality of sensor vehicles to direct sensors and receive images from differing substantially non-overlapping assigned locations of a target region, the sensor vehicles to generate detection lists when a potential target is identified within a field-of-view of the one or more sensor vehicles; and a processing station to combine the detection lists to identify actual targets by comparison with an object map. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A sensor vehicle comprising:
-
a navigation system to direct a sensor to receive images from one of plurality of substantially non-overlapping assigned locations of a target region; and a processing system to generate a detection list when a potential target is identified within a field-of-view of the sensor vehicle, wherein the detection list is combined with detection lists from other sensor vehicles of a plurality of sensor vehicles to identify actual targets by comparison with an object map. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
