Tien‐Hsin Chao, Thomas T. Lu · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2008
This paper describes JPL's recent work on high-performance automatic target recognition (ATR) processor consisting of a Grayscale Optical Correlator (GOC) and neural network for various Computer Aided Detection and Computer Aided Classification (CAD/CAC) applications. A simulation study for sonar mine and mine-like target detection and classification is presented. Applications to periscope video ATR is also presented.
