Class separability and features selection: GB-MIMO SAR MELISSA case of study

MELISSA is a new Ground Based (GB) MIMO SAR system developed by JRC. Despite the successes of MELISSA, GB MIMO SAR sensors could be particularly suitable for many other applications such as MIMO MTI, 3-D ISAR systems and Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) which are still under investigation. This document is addressed for investigating the ability of MELISSA as ATR sensor. The results have proved the abilities of MELISSA of of detecting, discriminating and recognizing potential targets presenting in the area of interest.
