Radar Target Recognition by Projected Features of Frequency-Diversity RCS

Abstract

Abstract-In this paper, the radar target recognition is given by projected features of frequency-diversity RCS (radar cross section). The frequency diversity means signals are collected by sweeping the frequency of the incident illumination. Initially, the frequencydiversity RCS data from targets are collected and projected onto the PCA (principal components analysis) space. The elementary recognition of targets is efficiently performed on the PCA space. To achieve well separate recognition of targets, the features of the PCA space are further projected onto the LDA (linear discriminant algorithm) space. Simulation results show that accurate results of radar target recognition can be obtained by the proposed frequencydiversity scheme. In addition, the proposed frequency-diversity scheme has good ability to tolerate noise effects in radar target recognition.

A Multi-Scale Local Phase Quantization Plus Biomimetic Pattern Recognition Method for Sar Automatic Target Recognition

“…As a key application of SAR, automatic target recognition (ATR) based on SAR has a great value both in military and commercial applications. However, how to interpret the SAR images and recognize the true targets correctly still remains to be studied and explored [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Currently, the proposed recognition methods for SAR targets are mainly template-based matching strategy [17] and model-based reconstruction method [18], together with the kernelbased method [19] which has been adopted for a wide range of applications because of its excellent performance.…”

“…However, many problems still haven't been perfectly resolved due to SAR image's special electromagnetic imaging process as a kind of coherent imaging radar. Generally, serious coherent wave speckle noise exists in the obtained SAR images, and distributions of targets and background have been considered for removing the noises [11]. But there are two main problems still left unsolved: one is the targets' azimuth angle orientation variation due to the uncertainty in imaging process; the other is the inevitable ambiguity (or blur) in SAR imaging due to its original imaging principle and design.…”

An Improved Decision Fusion Technique to Increase the Performance Level of HRR Atr Systems

“…In addition, the more precisely they represent the characteristics of the targets, the better classification results are [4]. Consequently, in high-resolution radar (HRR) theory, a lot of methods to accuracy describe the target characteristics are reported [5,6], but HR range profiles are often used [7][8][9].…”

New Anti-Arm Technique by Using Random Phase and Amplitude Active Decoys

“…In recent years, new techniques are applied in various radar systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The threat of electronic jamming to military radar is well known.…”
