Theory 51/Precision & Information/Remote sensing
Classification Follows Resolution
The claim
Target classification accuracy is set by the ratio of target extent to radar resolution cell, so a large target can be classified at coarse resolution.
01Mechanism
Classification requires the target to occupy enough cells for its shape to be recovered; below the ratio, it is a point.
02Prediction
Accuracy should track the ratio.
03Refutation
Accuracy tracking resolution alone would remove target size.
