Abstract

We propose a supervised classification of aircrafts using the high range resolution profiles extracted from inverse synthetic aperture radar images. The principal components are extracted from pre-processed synthetic radar data before applying the 1-nearest neighbour classification. The classification performances are presented in terms of the correct classification probability. A classification performances comparison is presented for two types of data: The HRR profiles and the principal components of HRR profiles.
