Abstract

A method for target discrimination and recognition based on target high-resolution range profiles (HRRPs) is summarized. This method uses heuristic feature extractions and the Mellin transformation of HRRPs. The use of wideband millimeter waves leads to better discrimination and recognition performance. The key techniques involved are: using wideband waveform to stimulate target scattering centers information; using a very-high-speed one- or two-dimensional FFTR processor to obtain the range profile or velocity of the target; and synthesis, fusion, and transformation of range profile features
