Abstract

In this paper we first review an algorithm which performs radar cross- section estimation by using techniques based on simulated annealing. Standard simulated annealing approaches to image restoration attempt to categorize each image element as belonging to one of a small number of predefined image states or values. This is restrictive for tasks such as radar cross-section estimation and we present here an algorithm which is capable of producing a real-valued output. This is achieved by introducing an edge detection stage into the simulated annealing process. This original cross-section estimation is based on a flat region model. This is extended here to include linear sloping regions. Results using this new model are given and a qualitative comparison drawn with the original flat region model approach.
