This book examines the roles of sensors, physics–based attributes, classification methods, and performance evaluation in automatic target recognition. It details target classification from small mine–like objects to large tactical vehicles. Also explored in the book are invariants of sensor and transmission transformations, which are crucial in the development of low latency and computationally manageable automatic target recognition systems.

Page 3 - The idea in kernel-based techniques is to obtain a nonlinear version of an algorithm defined in the input space by implicitly redefining it in the feature space and then converting it in terms of dot products. The kernel trick is then used to implicitly compute the dot products in f without mapping the input vectors into F; therefore, in the kernel methods, the mapping $ does not need to be identified. The kernel representation for the dot products in F is expressed as *(x,), (2) where A; is a kernel...
