Chapter 28. Automatic Target Recognition Systems on Reconfigurable Devices
Young H. ChoOpen Acceleration Systems Research
An Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) system analyzes a digital image or video sequence to locate and identify all objects of a certain class. There are several ways to implement ATR systems, and the right one is dependent, in large part, on the operating environment and the signal source. In this chapter we focus on the implementations of reconfigurable ATR designs based on the algorithms from Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) for the U.S. Department of Defense Joint STARS airborne radar imaging platform. STARS is similar to an aircraft AWACS system, but detects ground targets.
