Abstract :
In this paper, a novel technique, based on principal component analysis (PCA), is used to enhance the resonance based target identification process. PCA is used to combine the backscattered signatures of the target from different incident aspect angles. The dominant CNRs of the target are then extracted from the fused signature.
