Imagery is a critical need for ATh development. Real world scenes collected for ATh training and testing typically attempt to sample various target types, contrasts, backgrounds, depression angles, and ranges. These data sets are limited by the variability of the real world. ATh development is greatly enhanced by a data set that voids some of the real world problems. The Terrain Board test facility of CECOM's Center for Night Vision and Electro-Optics (C2NVEO) has the resources to obtain such an image training set that voids some of these real world problems. As part of the Balanced Technology Initiative Program (BTI), an extensive digital imagery set was recently collected at the facility, controlling some of the variables of the real world and systematically varying others.
