Abstract

The aim of this study is to propose a new target recognition method for the multi-sensor with multiple characteristics indexes. Coefficient of variation is used to determine the weights of characteristic indexes. The conceptions of ideal optimal and negative ideal vectors are given first and then normalized relative ratio is used to comprehensive evaluation value. Hence the rule of target recognition is given. The method can avoid the subjectivity of the weight of characteristic indexes and improve the objectivity and accuracy of target recognition. Finally, numerical simulation illustrates the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.

Keywords:

Coefficient of variation, multi-sensor, relative approach degree, target recognition,
