Using watersheds segmentation on ISAR image for automatic target recognition
Abdelmalek Toumi, Brigitte Hoeltzener, Ali Khenchaf · 2007
This paper deals with the processing adopted for shape extraction from the ID-presentation (image) in radar automatic target recognition field. The goal is to provide helpful information to human operator for target recognition. However, extracting the target characteristics from a radar echoes is the rather difficult task. Hence, several kinds of radar signatures can be employed to acquire information about target [10, 11]. In this paper, we present one approach for retrieval system for target recognition bused on ISAR-images in radar experimentation field. Then, we propose efficient features that deals with target shape which are extracted using Watersheds transformation. Of course, the target shape gives a better human interpretation.
