A method for identifying potential targets as far away as possible is disclosed. In a simple background scene such as a blue sky a target may be , recognized from a relatively long distance but for some high clutter , situations such as mountains and cities the detection ragne is severely , reduced. The background clutter may also be non-stationary further complicating the detection of a target. To solve these problems target , detection (recognition) of the present invention is based upon temporal fusion (integration) of sensor data using pre-detection or post-detection integration techniques, instead of using the prior art technique of fusing data from only a single time frame. Also …

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 18, 2004 and granted December 18, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 18, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 18, 2026.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
