Abstract :
An Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) algorithm has recently been proposed that makes use of Polarimetric ISAR images and a Model Matching approach. In this paper, the authors propose a variation of such an approach that is suitable for ATR of terrestrial vehicles. The effectiveness of the proposed implementation is tested by means of real data acquired during a controlled turn-table experiment.
