A Data Analysis Approach of ATR from SAR Images

Abstract

Thales has investigated during these last years a complete target recognition system from SAR images. This paper deals with the specific and original part dedicated to the identification task. Our major contributions are : first, a rational choice of features derived through the use of an image model obtained from data analysis process, and secondly, the use of multiple goodness-of-fit tests criteria with an implicit capability to manage false alarm through a reject class. Some experiments illustrate the range of performance achieved in terms of probability of correct identification. We end by addressing some principal extensions of our work.
