Automatic target recognition

"From an engineer designing Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) systems for 40 years, comes this step-by-step guide to producing state-of-the-art ATR systems. The full spectrum of ATR designs are covered, from systems that just suggest targets to the warfighter to ATRs that could serve as the &q...
