An Aided Target Recognition (ATR) System

 

  • 64 Rings and Wedges provide input to neural network.
  • Network trained by supervised learning—no code writing involved.
  • Excellent results obtained using eight targets.
  • Multiple networks possible with common input data, e.g., target class, angle, scale, ...
  • Diffraction pattern coarsely sampled at Fourier Transform plane.
  • 32 Rings—spatial power spectrum, 32 wedges—edge orientation.
  • Tremendous data reduction 640X480 pixel image reduced to 64 12-byte words.
  • High frame rate—1000 frames/sec.
 

Total Results:

  • Probability Of Correct Classification into target/ no target => 99.95%
  • Probability of Correct Identification in five classes shown => 99.90%
  • Probability of False Alarm = 0.05%
