Area of Science:

Radar Systems Engineering
Artificial Intelligence
Signal Processing

Background:

Classifying non-cooperative targets in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images is challenging due to limited measured data.
Existing algorithms often require extensive measured data for training, which is frequently unavailable.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) algorithm for SAR image classification.
To enable classification using solely synthetic data for training, addressing data scarcity.

Main Methods:

A model-based approach using scattering centers extracted from synthetic data.
Hypothesis generation for target classification based on scattering center models.
A modified Likelihood Ratio Test with a scattering center-weighting function for hypothesis verification.

Main Results:

Achieved 91.30% classification accuracy on the SAMPLE dataset using 100% synthetic training data under Standard Operating Conditions (SOCs).
Demonstrated robustness in Extended Operating Conditions (EOCs), including noise and varied target configurations.
The algorithm proved robust for Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) greater than -5 dB.

Conclusions:

The proposed ATR algorithm is effective for SAR target classification with purely synthetic training data.
It represents a significant advancement as the first model-based classifier tested on the SAMPLE dataset using only synthetic training data.
The algorithm shows promise for real-world applications requiring robust target recognition in challenging environments.
