摘要:
A system and method for automatic weapon allocation and scheduling of the present invention. The inventive method includes the steps of providing data with respect to threats, weapons, weapon allocation options; weapon allocation rules; and temporally dependent constraints with respect thereto; evaluating the data; and temporally allocating the weapons to the threats automatically in accordance with the evaluation. The invention computes the optimal pairing and the best time to deploy each weapon system against threat(s) it is paired with in arriving at the pairing. This results in an optimal assignment where weapon resource constraints are not exceeded and therefore guarantee availability of sufficient resources for engagement of every threat that is paired with a weapon system.

Described is a system for multi-class classifier threshold-offset estimation for visual object recognition. The system receives an input image with input features for classifying. A pair-wise classifier is trained for each pair of a plurality of object classes. A set of classification responses is generated, and a multi-class receiver-operating-characteristics (ROC) curve is computed for a set of threshold-offsets. An objective function of classification performance is computed from the ROC curve and optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO) to generate a set of optimized threshold-offsets. The optimized threshold-offsets are then applied to the classification responses. The resulting classification responses are compared to a predetermined value to classify each input feature as belonging to one object class or another. The tuning of the threshold-offsets with (PSO) improves classification performance in a visual object recognition system.

A bio-inspired actionable intelligence method and system is disclosed. The actionable intelligence method comprises recognizing entities in an imagery signal, detecting and classifying anomalous entities, and learning new hierarchal relationships between different classes of entities. A knowledge database is updated after each new learning experience to aid in future searches and classification. The method can accommodate incremental learning via Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART).

Described is a Distributed Resource Allocation System (DRAS) for sensor control and planning. The DRAS comprises an information framework module that is configured to specify performance goals, assess current performance state, and includes sensor models to achieve the performance goals. The DRAS is configured to further allocate the sensors to achieve the performance goals. Once allocated, the DRAS then reassesses the current performance state and continues reallocating the sensors until the current performance state is most similar to the performance goals.

To improve the scheduling and tasking of resources, the present disclosure describes an improved planning system and method for the allocation and management of resources. The planning system uses a branch and bound approach of tasking resources using a heuristic to expedite arrival at a deterministic solution. For each possible functional mode of the resources, an upper bound is determined. The upper bounds are employed in an objective function for the branch and bound process to determine the functional mode in which to place the resources and to determine movement paths for the resources, all in an environment where a hostile force may attempt to destroy the resources.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for controlling robots based on prioritized targets extracted from fused visual and auditory saliency maps. The fused visual and auditory saliency map may extend beyond the immediate visual range of the robot yet the methods herein allow the robot to maintain an awareness of targets outside the immediate visual range. The fused saliency map may be derived in a bottom-up or top-down approach and may be feature based or object based.

A method and system for a directed area search using cognitive swarm vision and cognitive Bayesian reasoning is disclosed. The system comprises a domain knowledge database, a top-down reasoning module, and a bottom-up module. The domain knowledge database is configured to store Bayesian network models comprising visual features and observables associated with various sets of entities. The top-down module is configured to receive a search goal, generate a plan of action using Bayesian network models, and partition the plan into a set of tasks/observables to be located in the imagery. The bottom-up module is configured to select relevant feature/attention models for the observables, and search the visual imagery using a cognitive swarm for the at least one observable. The system further provides for operator feedback and updating of the domain knowledge database to perform better future searches.

Described is a bio-inspired vision system for object recognition. The system comprises an attention module, an object recognition module, and an online labeling module. The attention module is configured to receive an image representing a scene and find and extract an object from the image. The attention module is also configured to generate feature vectors corresponding to color, intensity, and orientation information within the extracted object. The object recognition module is configured to receive the extracted object and the feature vectors and associate a label with the extracted object. Finally, the online labeling module is configured to alert a user if the extracted object is an unknown object so that it can be labeled.

Described is a system for multi-mission scheduling. The system is configured to compile a list of missions, where each mission includes at least one task. Additionally, each mission has a mission value associated with it such that the mission value reflects an ordering priority of the mission. The system also compiles a list of available resources that can be utilized to complete the tasks. The resources have, varying capabilities of completing tasks. Based on the lists, the system allocates and schedules the resources to complete tasks within the missions to maximize a total mission value of completed missions. Thus, the system schedules multiple missions to maximize the value of completed missions given available resources, whereby a mission is scheduled when the totality of its tasks have been allocated a sufficient amount of resources.

According to one embodiment, a computing system includes a computing node coupled to a number of sensors. The sensors are operable to generate records from received information and transmit these records to the computing node. The computing node is operable to bind the plurality of records in a plurality of classifications using a multiple level classifier such that each classification has a differing level of specificity.
