Automatic Target Recognition of terrestrial vehicles based on polarimetric ISAR image and model matching

An Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) algorithm has recently been proposed that makes use of Polarimetric ISAR images and a Model Matching approach. In this paper, the authors propose a variation of such an approach that is suitable for ATR of terrestrial vehicles. The effectiveness of the proposed implementation is tested by means of real data acquired during a controlled turn-table experiment.
