From an engineer who has been designing Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) systems for 40 years comes this step-by-step guide to producing state-of-the-art ATR systems. The full spectrum of ATR designs is covered, from systems that just suggest targets to the warfighter to ATRs that could serve as the "brains" of lethal autonomous robots. Unfortunately, when it comes to ATR, some practitioners claim that their off-the-shelf, canned algorithms magically leap from academic research to deployment with scant domain knowledge or system engineering. Deep learning is marketed more than deep...
