چکیده

This paper explores statistical pose estimation in SAR ATR using a recently proposed training method based on information theory. The theory of training with information theoretic learning is briefly summarized. Different pose estimator topologies and training criteria are employed. Experimental results in the MSTAR I and II show that our proposed method is capable of producing 1-DOF and 2-DOF pose estimations and we show the dependence of the training parameters on performance.

Pose Estimation in SAR using an Information Theoretic Criterion

This paper describes a pose estimation algorithm based on an information theoretic formulation. We formulate the pose estimation statistically and show that pose can be estimated from a low dimensional feature space obtained by maximizing the mutual information between the aspect angle and the output of the mapper. We use the Havrda-Charvat definition of entropy to implement a nonparametric est...

Microwave Imaging Using SAR

Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol.-SAR) allows us to implement the recognition and classification of radar targets. This article investigates the arrangement of scatterers by SAR data and proposes a new Look-up Table of Region (LTR). This look-up table is based on the combination of (entropy H/Anisotropy A) and (Anisotropy A/scattering mechanism α), which has not been reported up now. ...

Pose Estimation for SAR Automatic Target Recognition

This paper explores statistically pose estimation in SAR ATR. Based on our proposed method of maximizing mutual information, further experiments are conducted by using the new MSTAR/ IU Database. Different pose estimator topologies and training criteria are also employed. Experimental results show that our proposed method reduces the average pose estimation error to within 10 degrees of the tru...

Aircraft Reconstruction in High-Resolution SAR Images Using Deep Shape Prior

Contour shapes are important features. An accurate contour shape of a target can provide important prior information for applications, such as target recognition, which can improve the accuracy of target interpretation. In this paper, a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) target reconstruction method is proposed, which can be used to reconstruct the target by using shape priors to perform an accurat...

SAR ATR Via Pose-tagged Partial Evidence Fusion

This paper discusses the development and construction of a new system for robust, obscured object recognition by means of Partial Evidence Reconstruction From Object Restricted Measures (PERFORM). This new approach employs a partial evidence accrual approach to form both an object identity metric and an object pose estimate. The partial evidence information is obtained by applying several insta...
