Abstract :
The Moving and Stationary Target Acquisition and Recognition (MSTAR) program was initiated by the USA Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) and the USA Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) in the summer of 1995. The goal of this project was to advance the state of automatic target recognition (ATR) using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery by developing the technology of model-based vision. This paper provides a retrospective discussion of the progress made in the course of the MSTAR project
