The intelligence community is faced with an increasingly difficult challenge: the amount of data far outstrips the number of analysts that exploit this data into actionable information. With the ever-growing number of imaging satellites in orbit the job of an analyst will change from eyes on pixels to analysis of information from imagery thanks to automated image processing like object detection and change detection. \n\n As remote sensing capabilities continue to improve, both in quality and quantity of imagery, the need to automatically detect and classify targets of interest, e.g. plane, helicopter, ground vehicles, continues to grow. During the initial stages of this effort Etegent will focus on aircraft detection and classification and will potentially extend this framework to include other classes/targets of interest.
