The invention discloses a method for
automatic target recognition of an SAR. The
automatic target recognition of the SAR mainly comprises three steps such as SAR image preprocessing,
feature extraction and target classification, and the method is applicable to
feature extraction and target classification of the
automatic target recognition of the SAR and solves the problem that effective identification information can not be extracted from high-dimensional SAR images. According to the method for the automatic target recognition of the SAR, a manifold structure theory is introduced, and the method is based on a neighborhood identification embedding criterion. The method comprises the steps of A, initializing; B, constructing a
similarity matrix and a difference matrix; C, calculating a target matrix on the basis of a maximum margin criterion; D, calculating a projection matrix; E, conducting
feature extraction on training samples according to the projection matrix to obtain training sample features; E, conducting feature extraction on SAR images to be classified to obtain
test sample features; and F, classifying SAR images to be tested according to a
nearest neighbor classifier, wherein Step A-Step E belong to the feature extraction phase, and Step F belongs to the target classification phase. By the aid of the method, the probability of correct identification of targets can be improved.
