A Review of 3D Aircraft Image Recognition Methods

This paper provides a review of 3D aircraft object recognition methods based on 2D images. First, essentialities and advantages on 3D aircraft image recognition are analyzed. Second, in view of the aircraft image recognition system model, the traits of aircraft images are elaborated, then the methods of aircraft image recognition at every stage are discussed, especial the methods of feature extraction about aircraft image and the feasibilities, which some new methods about 3D object recognition are used to aircraft image recognition, are focused. At last, some issues about aircraft image recognition which should be further studied in the future are proposed.
