Book excerpt: The research funded under this grant focused on several key challenges arising in automatic target recognition (ATR) systems. The robust estimation of geometric features is a critical aspect of ATR systems and thus methods for robust boundary extraction and feature enhancement were developed based on both statistical modeling and compressed sensing. Another set of challenges was related to novel, non-conventional sensing geometries arising in modern layered-sensing systems. Traditional sensing has focused on single sensors and single aspects, e.g. conventional mono-static, narrow aspect SAR. But as new sensing paradigms are considered, new methods for image estimation and processing are needed. In response, novel, robust methods for wide-angle image formation and multi-static multi-sensor data fusion were developed, based on powerful sparsity constraints. In addition, recent methods from compressed sensing were applied to SAR imaging problems of interest to the Air Force to reduce sampling requirements and improve robustness. Finally, imaging of scenes with moving targets has become a problem of great interest to AFRL. In response new methods for the formation and treatment of scenes with motion were developed based on over complete dictionaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This effort advanced the art of applying Grenander's pattern theory to automatic target recognition (ATR) problems. We extended jump-diffusion ATR algorithms to accommodate unknown infrared camera calibration effects and include more numerically stable diffusion procedures for pose refinement, and developed flexible shape models to accommodate clutter. We also developed performance bounds on estimation and recognition performance for low-frequency radar data, single-image laser radar data, and 3-D "point cloud" data assembled from multiple sources. Further work explored data fusion using the "probability hypothesis density" approach.

Book excerpt: "This third edition of Automatic Target Recognition provides a roadmap for breakthrough ATR designs with increased intelligence, performance, and autonomy. Clear distinctions are made between military problems and comparable commercial Deep Learning problems. These considerations need to be understood by ATR engineers working in the defense industry as well as by their government customers. A reference design is provided for a next-generation ATR that can continuously learn from and adapt to its environment. The convergence of diverse forms of data on a single platform supports new capabilities and improved performance. This third edition broadens the notion of ATR to multisensor fusion. Radical continuous-learning ATR architectures, better integration of data sources, well-packaged sensors, and low-power teraflop chips will enable transformative military designs"--

Download or read book Radar Automatic Target Recognition ATR and Non Cooperative Target Recognition NCTR written by David Blacknell and published by IET. This book was released on 2013-08-23 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radar Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) and NonCooperative Target Recognition (NCTR) captures material presented by leading international experts at a NATO lecture series and explores both the fundamentals of classification techniques applied to data from a variety of radar modes and selected advanced techniques at the forefront of research. The ability to detect and locate targets by day or night, over wide areas, regardless of weather conditions has long made radar a key sensor in many military and civil applications. However, the ability to automatically and reliably distinguish different targets represents a difficult challenge, although steady progress has been made over the past couple of decades. This book explores both the fundamentals of classification techniques applied to data from a variety of radar modes and selected advanced techniques at the forefront of research. Topics include: the problem as applied to the ground, air and maritime domains; impact of image quality on the overall target recognition performance; performance of different approaches to the classifier algorithm; improvement in performance to be gained when a target can be viewed from more than one perspective; ways in which natural systems perform target recognition; impact of compressive sensing; advances in change detection, including coherent change detection; and challenges and directions for future research.

Download or read book Automatic Target Recognition written by Bruce Jay Schachter and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work provides an inside view of the Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) field, from an engineer working in the field for 40 years. In many ways ATR advances follow the march of technology, including digital electronics, unmanned systems, computer vision, pattern recognition, and artificial intelligence. Algorithm descriptions and testing procedures are provided in the text. Although some of these techniques are similar to what can be found in the academic and commercial sectors, an academic or commercial perspective is inadequate to tackle the military problem. This book covers unique aspects and considerations in the design, testing and fielding of ATR systems. These aspects need to be understood by ATR engineers working in the defense industry as well as their government customers. The final chapter discusses the future of ATR. It provides a type of Turing Test for determining if an ATR is truly smart (neuromorphic or brain-like). The Appendix reveals difficult to find resources available to the "ATR engineer."
