Abstract :
A study of passive classification of underwater targets is made. A set of features pertaining to four different classes of vessels are identified, and methods of extraction of these features from the data are outlined. An expert system using Turbo PROLOG is developed for classifying the vessels. The confidence level of the classifier is analyzed
