The Modular Integrated Video System (MIVS) Image Processing System (MIPS) was developed to assist the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Inspectorate in the safeguards review of MIVS Surveillance data. MIPS is designed to review MIVS surveillance data automatically; firstly detecting significantly changed images and secondly identifying if the changed images show IAEA defined objects of safeguards interest. To achieve this, MIPS uses both digital image processing and neural network techniques. The MIPS development progressed to a Class II status, prototype system, with a limited amount of real MIVS data to test the system. An evaluation program was conducted jointly by Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and the IAEA to determine the systems capabilities on a variety of MIVS data. The MIPS processing techniques and the user interface were evaluated by IAEA inspectors. Performance tests were also completed on a variety of MIVS data. This paper provides a description of the Class II MIPS and the evaluation program and reports on the results of this joint evaluation.
