Identification of target objects in war field

Computer vision deals with recognition of objects, as well as identification and localization of three dimensional environments. The current work is proposed to assist a missile to hit the target in a war field. Images will be extracted from the video stream and objects of interest (soldier, tree and tank) would be recognized. Distinguishable features of the objects are extracted and these features are used to identify and classify the objects. The instantaneous position of these objects is found to aid the missile path. The scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) used to extract features from such images are processed to classify the objects such as soldier, tank, tree, etc.
