Remote sensing target recognition has always been an important topic of image analysis, which has significant practical value in computer vision. However, remote sensing targets may be largely occluded by obstacles due to the long acquisition distance, which greatly increases the difficulty of recognition. Shape, as an important feature of a remote sensing target, plays an important role in remote sensing target recognition. In this paper, an occluded shape recognition method based on the local contour strong feature richness (contour pixel richness, contour orientation richness, and contour distance richness) to the walking minimum bounding rectangle (MBR) is proposed for the occluded remote sensing target (FEW). The method first obtains the local contour feature richness by using the walking MBR; it is a simple constant vector, which greatly reduces the cost of feature matching and increases the speed of recognition. In addition, this paper introduces the new concept of strong feature richness and uses the new strategy of constraint reduction to reduce the complex structure of shape features, which also speeds up the recognition speed. Validation on a self-built remote sensing target shape dataset and three general shape datasets demonstrate the sophisticated performance of the proposed method. FEW in this paper has both higher recognition accuracy and extremely fast recognition speed (less than 1 ms), which lays a more powerful theoretical support for the recognition of occluded remote sensing targets.
