This algorithm combines the linear feature extracted from principal component analysis （PCA） and nonlinear feature extracted from kernel principal component analysis （KPCA） respectively, and then utilizes the adaptive feature fusion algorithm which is based on the weighted maximum margin criterion （WMMC） to fuse the features in order to achieve better performance. The linear regression classifier is used in the experiments. The experimental results indicate that the proposed self-fusion algorithm achieves higher recognition rate compared with the traditional PCA and KPCA feature fusion algorithms.展开更多

Automatic target recognition process on the nonlinear and non-stationary of Doppler signals of military target by using automatic target recognition model can be expressed as follows. Firstly, the nonlinearity and non-stationary of Doppler signals were decomposed into a set of intrinsic mode functions(IMFs) using EMD. After the Hilbert transform of IMF, the energy ratio of each IMF to the total IMFs can be extracted as the features of military target. Then, the SVM was trained through using the energy ratio to classify the military targets, and genetic algorithm(GA) was used to optimize SVM parameters in the solution space. The experimental results show that this algorithm can achieve the recognition accuracies of 86.15%, 87.93%, and 82.28% for tank, vehicle and soldier, respectively.展开更多

The method used to recognize the target in the range imagery of Ladar is time-consuming, owing to its complicated procedure, which violates the requirement of real-time target recognition in practical applications. To simplify the troublesome procedures, we improve the spin-image algorithm by introducing a statistical correlated coeff^cient into target recognition in range imagery of Ladar. The system performance is demonstrated on sixteen simulated noise range images with targets rotated through an arbitrary angle in plane. A high efficiency and an acceptable recognition rate obtained herein testify the validity of the improved algorithm for practical applications. The proposed algorithm not only solves the problem of in-plane rotation-invariance rationally, but also meets the real-time requirement. This paper ends with a comparison of the proposed method and the previous one.展开更多

But how to determine the proper number of the models is a problem. This paper develops a variational Bayesian mixture of factor analyzers （VBMFA） model. This procedure can obtain a lower bound on the Bayesian integral using the Jensen＇s inequality. An analytical solution of the Bayesian integral could be obtained by a hypothesis that latent variables in the model are indepen- dent. During computing the parameters of the model, birth-death moves are utilized to determine the optimal number of model au- tomatically. Experimental results for measured data show that the VBMFA method has better recognition performance than FA and MFA method.展开更多
