Abstract :
This study investigates a variety of features in the context of automated ship classification of high resolution radar range profile. The features used are length, scatterer count, centres of mass, quantised range profile and Fourier modified direct Mellin transform coefficients. The results of evaluation using a modest database of high resolution range profiles, collected using an airborne radar, are then presented
