Abstract:

Feature selection is a key step in radar high resolution range profile (HRRP) target recognition, which can reduce the features dimension and improve the features robustness. A feature selection method based on divergence is proposed. This method is used to select feature subset from the feature set which is suitable for the recognition of ground targets range profile. Then the well-selected feature subset is sent to the classifier network for recognition. The ground target simulation data and filed data are used to conduct neural network classifier recognition experiments. The experimental results show that when the signal to noise ratio, elevation angle, and resolution of range profile change, the feature selection method based on divergence can not only maintain or improve the recognition ability of the feature set, but also maintain or even improve the robustness of the recognition, which has good practical value.

Key words: radar target recognition, high resolution range profile, feature extraction, feature selection, ground target
