Abstract :
In addition to radar images signatures, it is promising to use fractal signatures as informative and stable characteristic features providing efficient object identification. Target detection can be based on such features as a full fractal signature, its part or its slope. In this report, we focus on measurements of fractal characteristics of optic and radar image of natural objects and present results of computer simulations of detecting artificial objects observed against a background of fractal terrain
