Method for Detection of Ground Objects and Recognition of Their Types from Radar Images of the Earth Surface

摘要

A method for detection of ground objects and recognition of their types against the background of the earth surface from objects' radar images (RIs) is proposed. The method is based on a priori formation of template RIs of the objects in free space and scanning the RI of the earth surface with two types of rectangular windows. The dimensions of the window of the first type take into account the shadows of the objects, and the dimensions of the windows of the second type take into account only the outer dimensions of the objects. The results of the simulation of the detection characteristics and of the parameters of recognition of a KAMAZ truck and the control station mounted on the same chassis, which were located on a standard earth surface, are presented.
