SAR variant target automatic recognition algorithm based on local texture characteristic
Yinghua Wang · Journal of Jilin University · 2012
A Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) Automatic Target Recognition(ATR) algorithm for recognizing target variants is developed.This algorithm uses the local texture similarity between the variant and the original target for recognition.First,a SAR image registration algorithm based on clear edges is proposed.Then,the texture characteristic,which is obtained by combining the Gabor transform,LBP and spatial domain histogram,is employed to describe the SAR image.Finally,histogram sequence matching based on the large characteristic is used to perform recognition.The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by experimental results on MSTAR S2.
