This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative resource presents a comprehensive illustration of modern Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning (AI/ML) technology for radio frequency (RF) data exploitation. It identifies technical challenges, benefits, and directions of deep learning (DL) based object classification using radar data, including synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and high range resolution (HRR) radar. The performance of AI/ML algorithms is provided from an overview of machine learning (ML) theory that includes history, background primer, and examples. Radar data issues of collection, application, and examples for SAR/HRR data and communication signals analysis are discussed. In addition, this book presents practical considerations of deploying such techniques, including performance evaluation, energy-efficient computing, and the future unresolved issues.

Book excerpt: This book examines the roles of sensors, physics–based attributes, classification methods, and performance evaluation in automatic target recognition. It details target classification from small mine–like objects to large tactical vehicles. Also explored in the book are invariants of sensor and transmission transformations, which are crucial in the development of low latency and computationally manageable automatic target recognition systems.

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 J. Schachter and published by SPIE-International Society for Optical Engineering. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 254 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."

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"--
