Integral Imaging for Anti-Access/Area Denial Environments

There is a growing interest in target detection and tracking in Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2AD) environments, where sensor platforms are at low altitudes and imagery are collected at oblique angles. Targets that are of interest in these scenarios are typically partially or mostly occluded by foliage or other objects. We present experiments to illustrate reconstruction of obscured targets using Integral Imaging, in both synthetically generated data and data collected using a multi-sensor system. We also explore the effects of Integral Imaging on Aided Target Recognition (AiTR), as well as performance improvement on target tracking.
