Auto-Label SAR (AL-SAR)
SBC: ICR, INC. Topic: OSD221002Correctly labeled data is essential for training AI/ML-based automatic target recognition (ATR). The training process is all the more complicated in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images because of their unique phenomenology, such as orientation-sensitive target signatures, layover, cross-range smearing, and radio frequency interference. New automated technology must reduce the cost and acc ...
