Automatic target recognition (ATR) is a multidisciplinary field that involves computer processing of data from numerous sensors for aided or autonomous target detection and recognition. A variety of techniques can be used for target detection and ATR in combination with other related purposes. Multiresolution processing for clutter modeling, physics-based processing for change detection, and model-based image sequence processing for change and motion detection are some of the ATR techniques. ATR requires diverse technology and expertise, has wide applications, and a challenging future.
