Abstract
A multiresolution, multirate approach for detecting and following targets. The resolution of data obtained from a target scanning region is reduced spatially and temporally in order to provide to a tracker a reduced amount of data to calculate. Balances of computer processing resources with long-range detection and multiple target tracking are provided. Computer processing resources can be allocated to other systems while still maintaining an accurate tracking function and alternatively, the tracking function can receive a high level of computer processing resources and track at a finer resolution. An ability to recover raw data points from the spatially and temporally reduced values is also provided.
