Neighborhood virtual points discriminant embedding for synthetic aperture radar automatic target recognition

Support Vector Machines For Synthetic Aperture Radar Automatic Target Recognition

Algorithms that produce classifiers with large margins, such as support vector machines (SVMs), AdaBoost, etc. are receiving more and more attention in the literature. This paper presents a real application of SVMs for synthetic aperture radar automatic target recognition (SAR/ATR) and compares the result with conventional classifiers. The SVMs are tested for classification both in closed and o...

Adaptive Boosting for Synthetic Aperture Radar Automatic Target Recognition

We propose a novel automatic target recognition (ATR) system for classification of three types of ground vehicles in the MSTAR public release database. First, MSTAR image chips are represented as fine and raw feature vectors, where raw features compensate for the target pose estimation error that corrupts fine image features. Then, the chips are classified by using the adaptive boosting (AdaBoo...

Synthetic Aperture Radar Automatic Target Recognition Using Adaptive Boosting

We propose a novel automatic target recognition (ATR) system for classification of three types of ground vehicles in the MSTAR public release database. First, each image chip is pre-processed by extracting fine and raw feature sets, where raw features compensate for the target pose estimation error that corrupts fine image features. Then, the chips are classified by using the adaptive boosting ...

Automatic Target Detection and Recognition Using Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery

Importance of Image Exploitation Defence forces rely upon a variety of sensor information to locate and track oppositional forces; the surveillance problem becomes particularly difficult over large land areas with sparse population centres and over the great expanse of the seas. The modern warfighter is dependent upon several types of image data to aid in the surveillance task including optical...
