Fusion for automated target recognition

摘要

A method of predicting a target type in a set of target types from at least one image is provided. At least one image is obtained. A first and second set of confidence values and associated azimuth angles are determined for each target type in the set of target types from the at least one image. The first and second set of confidence values are fused for each of the azimuth angles to produce a fused curve for each target type in the set of target types. When multiple images are obtained, first and second set of possible detections are compiled corresponding to regions of interest in the multiple images. The possible detections are associated by regions of interest. The fused curves are produced for every region of interest. In the embodiments, the target type is predicted from the set of target types based on criteria concerning the fused curve.
