SAR Automatic Target Recognition Based on Shadow Contour

Abstract

Due to special imaging mechanism, shadow contour of SAR image is not as clear as that of optical image. Aiming at target recognition, this paper presents a SAR image segmentation method based on Partial Differential De-noising and Marker-Controlled, and carries out automatic target recognition on result of image segmentation. Experimental results show that, using the method of this paper, segmentation result of SAR image can classify target effectively.
