Title: A SAR ATR algorithm based on coherent change detection

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/769030· OSTI ID:769030

This report discusses an automatic target recognition (ATR) algorithm for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery that is based on coherent change detection techniques. The algorithm relies on templates created from training data to identify targets. Objects are identified or rejected as targets by comparing their SAR signatures with templates using the same complex correlation scheme developed for coherent change detection. Preliminary results are presented in addition to future recommendations.
