Model-based automatic target recognition development tools

摘要

Abstract: A good deal of effort in developing ATR systems involves using component algorithms from existing systems. In many cases the developers modify existing algorithms and link them with newly developed ones in order to create a new system. A significant amount of time is also spent in performing evaluations and diagnostics on such systems. In the case of model-based ATR, the developers are always interested in enhancing the computation speed so they attempt various modifications and architectures at the system as well as the algorithm level. The proper tools, are critically needed that will allow ATR developers to perform rapidly and efficiently many of the above tasks. The model-based inconically reconfigurable object recognition system (MIRORS), which provides many of the tools for solving such problems, is described.!
