Operating covertly is key for Army operations and the “Now you see me,
now you don’t” project is looking for solutions to actively modify the visual
and infrared signatures (the pattern emitted by an object) of Army platforms in
order to decrease detectability. Xtract AI proposes to leverage recent advances
in deep learning and computer vision, along with novel deep learning technology
to develop a system capable of assessing the efficacy of any existing or developed
adaptive and multi-spectral concealment and camouflage technologies or
materials. This will guide the development of technologies that optimally
reduce visual and infrared detection of soldiers and vehicles, and enhance the
performance of materials designed to eliminate detection in dynamic
environments in real time.
The proposed system will combine two deep learning components: a soldier
and vehicle detector; and a soldier and vehicle concealer. The detector will be
a computer vision model that is able to identify people and vehicles from
visual and infrared video streams. Meanwhile the concealer will be a computer
vision model that uses real-time information from the context (e.g., background
visual and heat patterns) to determine the optimal visual and infrared
signature to facilitate concealment.
Using these two components, several outstanding problems with soldier
and vehicle concealment can be addressed. Concealment systems will be able to
be assessed, for example the efficacy of new uniforms, textiles and vehicle
add-ons. Pitting the two components against each other will also facilitate the
development of optimal concealment methods. Additionally the concealer will be
trained to generate modified visual and infrared signatures that are able to
prevent detection by the deep learning detection system.
“We’re delighted that the Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security
(IDEaS) program selected us to work on this project,” said Martin Cronin, CEO
of Patriot One Technologies. “Utilising Xtract AI’s knowledge of artificial
intelligence, and data and video analysis we hope to be able to assist the
Canadian Army in their ability to operate covertly, thus keeping our soldiers
safer.”
