  • Detection Detect if an object is present
  • Recognition See what type of object it is (i.e. person, vehicle, airplane)
  • Identification For example see if someone is a friend or foe
Detection Recognition Identification
Rabbit 180 meters 45 meters 22 meters
Person 633 meters 158 meters 79 meters
Vehicle 1533 meters 383 meters 191 meters
