In the modern battlefield there are used many methods to hide personnel, equipments and vehicles. Most of them are using natural (vegetation) and artificial (masking, netting) obstacles. Moreover, there are some situations when conditions like night and bad weather may make difficult or impossible to visualize them with visible spectrum sensors. In these cases a stabilized platform with complex sensor (visible and infrared camera) and LASER telemeter are used. In this paper complex data (image) processing and data fusion, used not only to find this kind of targets, but also to identify (classify) them, are described.
