Neural network techniques in electromagnetic target classification: A comparison study

1999-01-01
The performances of a self-organizing map classifier, a multilayer perceptron classifier and a conventional classifier, based on the well-known principal component analysis technique, are compared in classifying a group of model aircraft, according to their accuracy and their real-time classification speed

Distance-based discretization of parametric signal manifolds
Vural, Elif (2010-06-28)
The characterization of signals and images in manifolds often lead to efficient dimensionality reduction algorithms based on manifold distance computation for analysis or classification tasks. We propose in this paper a method for the discretization of signal manifolds given in a parametric form. We present an iterative algorithm for the selection of samples on the manifold that permits to minimize the average error in the manifold distance computation. Experimental results with image appearance manifolds d...
Comparative evaluation of SAR image formation algorithms
Şahin, Halil İbrahim; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
In the scope of this thesis, simulation-based analyses and comparative evaluation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image formation techniques, namely Time Domain Correlation, Range Stacking, Range Doppler and Chirp Scaling algorithms, are presented. For this purpose, first, the fundamental concepts of SAR such as SAR geometry, resolution and signal properties are explained. A broadside SAR simulator that provides artificial raw data as an input to the algorithms is designed and implemented. Then, the mathe...
Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion Autopilot Design for an Air Defense System with Aerodynamic and Thrust Vector Control
Bıyıklı, Rabiya; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Tekin, Raziye; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-2)
The study proposes complete attitude and acceleration autopilots in all three channels of a highly agile air defense missile by utilizing a subcategory of nonlinear feedback linearization methods Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (NDI). The autopilot design includes cross-coupling effects enabling bank-to-turn (BTT) maneuvers and a rarely touched topic of control in the boost phase with hybrid control which consists of both aerodynamic fin control and thrust vector control. This piece of work suggests solut...
Computation of radar cross sections of complex targets by physical optics with modified surface normals
Durgun, Ahmet Cemal; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
In this study, a computer code is developed in MATLAB® to compute the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of arbitrary shaped complex targets by using Physical Optics (PO) and Modified PO. To increase the computational efficiency of the code, a novel fast integration procedure for oscillatory integrals, called Levin’s integration, is applied to PO integrals. In order to improve the performance of PO near grazing angles and to model diffraction effects, a method called PO with Modified Surface Normal Vectors is implem...
Neural networks and cascade modeling technique in system identification
Senalp, Erdem Turker; Tulunay, Ersin; Tulunay, Yurdanur (2006-01-01)
The use of the Middle East Technical University Neural Network and Cascade Modeling (METU-NN-C) technique in system identification to forecast complex nonlinear processes has been examined. Special cascade models based on Hammerstein system modeling have been developed. The total electron content (TEC) data evaluated from GPS measurements are vital in telecommunications and satellite navigation systems. Using the model, forecast of the TEC data in 10 minute intervals 1 hour ahead, during disturbed condition...
