Singular value features of images

This paper presents the preliminary results of our investigation on using singular value decomposition transform to extract effective image features. It proposes using the singular values of subimages to discriminate different classes of imagery. The proposed new features have been very effective when applied to target detection and background discrimination in low resolution SAR imagery.
