Abstract
In this paper, we propose a fusion classification method combining HRRP and JEM classifier with complementary properties for the classification of aircraft. The fusion method is based on the confidence of a classifier for a classification result to improve performance compared with single classifier in various situations. The confidence is defined as the posterior probability estimated from the classification performance of a classifier and it depends on the aspect angle and the certainty for a classification result. Through the classification test using simulation data, we can verify that the proposed fusion method shows good performance by fusing the classifiers effectively.
