We present a new algorithm for the discrimination of remote objects by their surface structure. Starting from a range-azimuth profile function, we formulate a range-azimuth matrix whose largest eigenvalues are used as discriminating features to separate object classes. A simpler, competing algorithm uses the number of sign changes in the range-azimuth profile function to discriminate among classes. Whereas both algorithms work well on noiseless data, an experiment involving real data shows that the eigenvalue method is far more robust with respect to noise than is the sign-change method. Two well-known methods based on surface structure, variance, and fractal dimension were also tested on real data. Neither method furnished the aspect invariance and the discriminability of the eigenvalue method. |
