Abstract

The objective of this paper is to develop novel classification structures for military targets detection and recognition by employing different fusion techniques. In real applications, the great diversity of materials in the background areas and the similarity between the background and target signatures result in high false alarm rates and large miss classification errors. In this paper, three new systems are proposed using different fusion techniques: pixel level fusion, decision fusion, and classification fusion employing confidence vectors. These new developed systems are tested using an experimental data to show its effectiveness.
