ATR from Medium Resolution Images for All Weather Terminal Guidance

Abstract

In the context of air to ground terminal guidance applications, the main purpose of ATR is to refine the target position. This paper presents a feature based ATR technique. A first evaluation on the MIMEX data, with ground truth, shows good results. An analysis of the results relative to image quality is presented on the MATRIX 2005 data (FGAN Ka images, no ground truth). This paper starts with a description of the test-data followed by a brief description of the ATR algorithm. Its main purpose is the detection of potential targets and the false alarm rejection: Trees, other vehicles... Next, the results of the ATR are presented and the study focuses on the aspect angle and polarization influence.
