Abstract :
In the modern battlefield scenario multiple sources of information may be exploited to mitigate uncertainty. Polarization and spatial diversity can provide useful information for specific and critical tasks such as the Automatic Target Recognition (ATR). In this paper the use of pseudo-Zernike moments applied to the full-polarimetric Gotcha dataset is presented. Specifically improved single platform ATR performance is demonstrated through the use of multiple observations.
