“…The area of Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) for SAR imagery is an ongoing research in many branches of the military and large research institutions [6], [7], [16], [17], [20]. On the other side, there has been an increasing interest in using artificial neural networks (ANN) for image processing and pattern recognition [1], [2], [7], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [17]. A typical target recognition system consists of a detection module (filtering and segmentation) and a recognition module (feature selection and classification) [1].…”
