Neuronal target recognition

Nervous systems receive, process, store, and transmit complex information with high fidelity. These properties of the nervous system reflect, in large part, specific patterns of connections between neurons and targets (neuronal connectivity). Neuronal connectivity is an extraordinary example of biological complexity. In the human brain, for example, an estimated lOi1 neurons establish a network...

Automatic Aircraft Target Recognition

This work proposes a new automatic target classifier, based on a combined neural networks’ system, by ISAR image processing. The novelty introduced in our work is twofold. We first present a novel automatic classification procedure, and then we discuss an improved multimedia processing of ISAR images for automatic object detection. The classifier, composed by a combination of 20 feed-forward ar...

Automatic Target Recognition

This paper describes the acceleration of an infrared automatic target recognition (IR ATR) application with a co-processor board that contains multiple eld programmable gate array (FPGA) chips. Template and pixel level parallelism is exploited in an FPGA design for the bottleneck portion of the application. The implementation of this design achieved a speedup of 21 compared to running on the ho...

Reconfigurable Target Recognition System

This paper describes model-based development of a real-time, embedded Automated Target Recognition (ATR) system. ATR systems have extremely large computational requirements, on the order of 10 GOP/s, in some modes of operation. To implement a system capable of handling high sampling rate and large input images distributed processing must be used. The complexity of the applied Distance-classifie...
