Abstract

Abstract : Emitter identification has been widely recognized as one crucial issue for communication, electronic reconnaissance, and radar intelligence analysis. However, the measurements of emitter signal parameters typically take the form of uncertain intervals rather than precise values. In addition, the measurements are generally accumulated dynamically and continuously. As a result, one imminent task has become how to carry out discriminant analysis of interval-valued parameters incrementally for emitter identification. Existing machine learning approaches for interval-valued data analysis are unfit for this purpose as they generally assume a uniform distribution and are usually restricted to static data analysis. To address the above problems, we bring forward an incremental discriminant analysis method on interval-valued parameters (IDAIP) for emitter identification. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-life data sets have validated the efficiency and effectiveness of our method.
