Underwater target classification in changing environments using an adaptive feature mapping
Altmetrics
Abstract
A new adaptive underwater target classification system to cope with environmental changes in acoustic backscattered data from targets and nontargets is introduced in this paper. The core of the system is the adaptive feature mapping that minimizes the classification error rate of the classifier. The goal is to map the feature vector in such a way that the mapped version remains invariant to the environmental changes. A K-nearest neighbor (K-NN) system is used as a memory to provide the closest matches of an unknown pattern in the feature space. The classification decision is done by a backpropagation ...
