Ground-truthing Image Sequences

Ground-truthing is the process of manually analyzing sequences of recorded data and identifying target types, specifying target signature outlines, and pinpointing consistent aimpoints for each target. This information is the basis of the filters used for acquisition by ATR systems. The first step to be taken had to be ground-truthing (a screenshot of which can be found on page , Figure 2), so that there would be data from which programs could extract, and to serve as references from which filters could be created.
