Overview

Today, essentially all images come with GPS data and a time-stamp, unfortunately most automated image analysis algorithms ignore this information. We propose to develop algorithms that exploit this metadata and, in addition, we propose algorithms for extracting geospatial information directly from the imagery. Explicitly considering the geospatial context will advance the state of the art in automated imagery analysis and lead to tools for improved situational awareness. This proposal is part of a broad research agenda aimed at building ContextualEyes, a surveillance platform that deeply integrates geospatial awareness. This proposal takes important steps toward this goal. We focus on three main research objectives: (1) using known weather conditions for scene understanding, (2) estimating unknown weather conditions and (3) estimating the shape and motion of clouds. We also dedicate time for continued DoD engagement with pilot projects and support for technology transition.
