Biologically inspired and multi-perspective target recognition
In this chapter we aim to exploit experience of the natural world in which echolocating mammals are able to detect and classify objects with apparent ease. These observations suggest that waveform diversity and orientation strategies play an important role. It is this hypothesis that we test and show to be valid, as confirmed through real-world radar experiments. Specifically, there is additional information contained in different perspectives of a target that can help classify it, thus boosting performance. There is also a law of diminishing returns, in that the opportunity to extract additional new information reduces as the number of perspectives increases.
