Summary	We propose to exploit non-imaging systems for target detection and tracking. Non-imaging systems are nominally those with low-spatial resolution; resolution which is not sufficient to resolve targets. Targets in this case are typically vehicles, ships, or aircraft. Non-imaging systems generally have relatively high frame rates, and can provide long temporal sequences of observations. The proposed activity is to use technologies developed for the analysis of video systems to the non-imaging systems of interest. The existing technologies, as applied to video systems, depend to some extent on the ability to resolve targets (multiple pixels); the objective here is to move beyond that limitation. Pending discussion with sponsor, some labor support may be moved to an NRC Post-doctoral position.
