But how to determine the proper number of the models is a problem. This paper develops a variational Bayesian mixture of factor analyzers （VBMFA） model. This procedure can obtain a lower bound on the Bayesian integral using the Jensen＇s inequality. An analytical solution of the Bayesian integral could be obtained by a hypothesis that latent variables in the model are indepen- dent. During computing the parameters of the model, birth-death moves are utilized to determine the optimal number of model au- tomatically. Experimental results for measured data show that the VBMFA method has better recognition performance than FA and MFA method.展开更多

To tackle these issues, a novel target recognition method is designed, denoted by the multiple support vectors (multi-SV) method. With the proposed method, a special framework is constructed by a treble correlate support vector model to segment the feature space to two regions with the distribution of density, and then the description and classification hyperplane for each region are achieved. Based on the support vector framework, this method needs less memory and computation complexity to fit practical radar HRRP recognition. Finally, the experiment based on the measured data verifies the excellent performance of this method.展开更多
