Synthetic SAR/IR database generation for sensor fusion-based A.T.R.

Recently, the sensor fusion research has been in progress for effective ground target detection. SAR and IR sensors are complementary because the IR sensor has a high resolution, SAR sensor is not effected by the weather. In research, The DB of the SAR/IR sensor is essential. But database(DB) of the SAR/IR sensor dose not exist or is not released. It is also difficult to acquire the DB directly because of cost and environmental issues. Therefore, this paper proposed a method to build the DB with synthetic image generation simulator OKTAL-SE. We generate day and night images, and compare the features.
