Using range profiles as feature vectors to identify aerospace objects

The authors use range profiles as the feature vectors for data representation, and they establish a decision rule based on the matching scores to identify aerospace objects. Reasons for choosing range profiles as the feature vectors are explained, and criteria for determining aspect increments for building the database are proposed. Typical experimental examples of the matching scores and recognition rates are provided and discussed. The results demonstrated can be used for comparison with other identification methods. >
