Changeable sceneries and noise variability make hard the recognitions task of an ATR system. In this paper, a modular system based on ANNs for the quasi real-time detection of moving targets in seaport radar images is proposed. The neural modules resolve both noise removal and target identification tasks by processing steps including a segmentation, a filtering and a classification phase. The system performance have been evaluated on temporal sequences acquired in a real maritime environment. (Provider: Leibiger) rv:
