The Active Appearance Model with Applications to SAR Target Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method to recognize ship target in SAR imagery using an Active Appearance Model (AAM) is proposed in this paper. The AAM can describe both shape and grey-level appearance of target which can present the SAR target more accurately.The application of AAM in SAR targets recognition was discussed in details. And the effectiveness of the method was demonstrated through the ship target classification of airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The conclusion will help to direct the real SAR target recognition applications.

متن کاملThe Use of Multiple-Polarization Data in Foliage Penetrating (FOPEN) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Applications
Foliage penetrating (FOPEN) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems are capable of producing images of targets concealed under a foliage canopy. The quality and interpretability of these images, however, is generally limited by dense foliage clutter and by fundamental foliage-induced image degradation. Use of a polarimetric SAR to provide multiple polarization channels can mitigate these effects...

متن کاملRecognition of Human Facial Expression in a Video Image using the Active Appearance Model
Tracking human facial expression within a video image has many useful applications, such as surveillance and teleconferencing, etc. Initially, the Active Appearance Model (AAM) was proposed for facial recognition; however, it turns out that the AAM has many advantages as regards continuous facial expression recognition. We have implemented a continuous facial expression recognition system using...
متن کاملMicrowave Imaging Using SAR
Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol.-SAR) allows us to implement the recognition and classification of radar targets. This article investigates the arrangement of scatterers by SAR data and proposes a new Look-up Table of Region (LTR). This look-up table is based on the combination of (entropy H/Anisotropy A) and (Anisotropy A/scattering mechanism α), which has not been reported up now. ...
