Abstract In this paper, SAR ATR (Synthetic Aperture Radar Automatic Target Recogni-tion) approach based on KPCA (Kernel Principal Component Analysis) is proposed. KPCA first maps the input data into some feature space using kernel functions and then performs lin-ear PCA on the mapped data. It takes the principal components in nonlinear space as sample features, then SVM classifier is used to classify targets. Experimental results with MSTAR SAR, data sets provided by the US DARPA/AFRL (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency/Air Force Research Laboratory) show a better performance of classification and generalization.
