Spectral Image Based Small Target Recognition

This paper will present the important factors influencing spectral target recognition using multispectral data and suggest a different approach to small target recognition. The methodology of directed spectral search will be offered, including the use of spectral libraries, spectral similarity scores, and ROC curve analysis. The ability to find specific small targets, such as Saddam Hussein’s yellow taxicab typifies this challenge. This paper will conclude with experimental results for a proposed technique of spectral image based small target recognition. It will also suggest the nature of further research on the topic.
