Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

Complex System Inc.

$50,000.00

Satellite Video Analytics Toolkit

FY 2021-22 · 2021-11-01

Summary
In this project, the firm will extend capabilities of detection, tracking and identification from maritime environment to the land area. Land application poses challenge on detection of small and potentially faster moving objects. The firm proposes a motion-based approach for detection of land vehicles from satellite videos and a context-based detection method for land where every region of the land is semantically segmented to identify the land use patterns. The firm proposes to create a database of well annotated data points that can be used to correct the detection and classification performance based on uncertainty measure.

Land application poses challenge on detection of small and potentially faster moving objects.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre de ce projet, l'entreprise compte améliorer les capacités de détection, de suivi et d'identification de l'environnement maritime à la zone terrestre. L'application terrestre pose le défi de la détection d'objets de petite taille et se déplaçant potentiellement plus rapidement. L'entreprise propose une approche basée sur le mouvement pour la détection de véhicules terrestres à partir de vidéos satellites et une méthode de détection basée sur le contexte pour le territoire, et ce, où chaque région du territoire est sémantiquement segmentée pour déterminer les modèles d'utilisation du territoire. L'entreprise propose de créer une base de données de points de données bien annotés qui peuvent être utilisés pour corriger la performance de détection et de classification basée sur la mesure d'incertitude.
