Problem Definition • Use Modular Software Test Bed to Perform: • Direct comparisons of different stochastic models • Performance analysis under a wide range of testing and training scenarios • Detailed study of performance vs. models and model parameters Montagnino: SAR ATR
Likelihood Approach to ATR • Target Class and Pose Estimates Montagnino: SAR ATR
Likelihood Approach to ATR • Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test and Maximum-A-Posteriori Estimation Montagnino: SAR ATR
MSTAR DATA SET • A collection of spotlight mode SAR images from a number of target classes • Using 4 target classes from the public release set • Using 10 target classes from the public release set • MSTAR Program sponsored by DARPA and Wright Laboratory Montagnino: SAR ATR
MSTAR Data Set • Partitioned into two subsets: • 17 ° depression images used for estimating likelihood functions • 15 ° depression images used for experimentally assessing performance • For testing, we assume a uniform prior on orientation and target class Montagnino: SAR ATR
Gamma Distribution • Multi-parameter distribution • Relaxation of the quarter-power normal model • Relates to Work in MSTAR Program at WPAFB Montagnino: SAR ATR
Gamma Estimates • Maximum Likelihood Estimates where Montagnino: SAR ATR
Gamma Results • Percentage of Correct Classification and Orientation Estimation Error Montagnino: SAR ATR
K Distribution • Multi-Parameter • Mixture model • Models Specular and Diffuse Reflectivity Montagnino: SAR ATR
K Estimates • Expectation-Maximization Montagnino: SAR ATR
K Results • Percentage of Correct Classification and Orientation Estimation Error Montagnino: SAR ATR
Azimuth Correlation • Radar data correlated in azimuth Montagnino: SAR ATR
Azimuth Correlation Functions • EM Algorithm to Find Estimates of Montagnino: SAR ATR
Azimuth Correlation Covariance Images Montagnino: SAR ATR
Azimuth Correlation Results • Percentage of Correct Classification and Orientation Estimation Error Montagnino: SAR ATR
Conclusions • Gamma Distribution Model • low recognition rates • poor orientation estimation • K distribution model • comparable recognition rates to the zero-mean conditionally Gaussian presented by DeVore Montagnino: SAR ATR
Conclusion • Azimuth Correlation • comparable recognition rates to the zero-mean conditionally Gaussian model presented by DeVore • best orientation estimation error rates of any distribution • correlation models don’t match actual data Montagnino: SAR ATR
