Spatial analysis of target signatures
Moving or stationary target Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) signatures can be analyzed and used to identify and classify target type against known stored target data base, consisting of full circle raw target data. Public target data base is used as data source, and additionally derived target signature characteristics are generated suitable for target identification. Pose, angle between position and velocity, can be derived in this process and it can be used to reduce search space and hence increase likelihood of Automatic Target Identification (ATR). Our goal in this paper is to define new methodology to analyze target data, using stored signatures as well as real time target signature, and generating variety of spatial statistics and correlations. Besides applications in defense area, there are numerous commercial applications in machine learning, augmented reality, traffic control, and facial recognition.
