Generalized target description by means of colored bright spots (Altes [Z]) is very attractive for recognition or classification tasks in active sonar applications. In this correspondence, we show how such a description can be achieved directly from the impulse response to identify. It turns out that the resulting procedure is in close connection with the recently introduced technique of wavelet decomposition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
