Workshop on Multi/Hyperspectral Sensors, Measurements, Modeling and Simulation November 7-9, 2000 CALL FOR PAPERS Rocket Auditorium Redstone Arsenal, AL OBJECTIVE: The objective of this workshop is to review research progress in Multi/Hyperspectral Sensor Measurements, Modeling and Simulation including spectral background scenes, calibration and validation processes, algorithm development, and performance metrics for potential technology insertion in current tactical and strategic weapon systems as well as other defense related systems. A second objective is to identify research and technology gaps in the technology that must be filled to achieve DOD program objectives. POTENTIAL TOPICS: * Automatic Target Detection / Recognition * Atmospheric Correction / Radiometric Calibration * Counter Camouflage, Concealment & Deception * Drug Detection * Earth Remote Sensing * Mine Detection * Spectro-polarimetric Sensing and Processing * Spectral Matching Techniques * Spectral Unmixing / Subpixel Analysis ATTENDANCE: The Workshop is open to industry, academia, and government. One session of the workshop may be classified SECRET. Further information will be available regarding this issue. The remainder of this workshop will be UNCLASSIFIED. However, attendance is restricted. The workshop is open to U.S. citizens and non-citizens who are approved by the Department of Defense.
