title: Application of the deflection criterion to classification of radar SAR images.
abstract: An original application of the weighted deflection is proposed for radar target classification by quadratic filters. An explicit formulation of optimal filters is derived. We analyse the impact of the weighting parameter on real data recognition, and show that performances are better when the deflection coincides with the Fisher ratio.
