(last updated on 2024/04/24)Abstract:
Angle-dependent scattering (electromagnetic or acoustic) is considered from a general target, for which the scattered signal is a non-stationary function of the target-sensor orientation. A statistical model is presented for the wavelet coefficients of such a signal, in which the angular non-stationarity is characterized by an "outer" hidden Markov model (HMMo). The statistics of the wavelet coefficients, within a state of the outer HMM, are characterized by a second, "inner" HMMi, exploiting the tree structure of the wavelet decomposition. This dual-HMM construct is demonstrated by considering multi-aspect target identification using measured acoustic scattering data. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
