14 October 1998Improved template-based SAR ATR performance using learning vector quantization
This paper investigates methods to improve template-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) automatic target recognition (ATR). The approach utilizes clustering methods motivated from the vector quantization (VQ) literature to search for templates that best represent the signature variability of target chips. The ATR performance using these new templates are compared to the performance using standard templates. For baseline SAR ATR, the templates are generated over uniform angular bins in the pose space. A merge method is able to generate templates that provide a nonuniform sampling of the pose space, and the templates produce modest gains in ATR performance over standard templates.
