Abstract

The performance of linear and nonlinear processors (filters) for image recognition which are I_p-norm optimum in terms of tolerance to input noise and discrimination capabilities. These processors were developed by minimizing the I_p- norm of the filter output due to the input scene and the output due to the noise. The performance of the I_p-norm optimum filters is tested by measuring the average peak-to- sidelobe ratio of the output of the filters for different values of p. In addition, the performance of these filters is tested further by placing a target in a scene containing additive noise and realistic background scene. For the images presented here, the filters detected the target in the presence of additive noise and realistic background scene.
