Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing image processing program

An image processing method comprising:

• detecting objects in an input SAR image and generating object chips;
• calculating projection information of each object using SAR geometry;
• learning, for each object, a relation between an object chip and its projection information, and thereby generating learnt features of object chips;
• and
• classifying object chips into classes based on the learnt features of object chips.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an image processing program is a non-transitory computer readable medium storing an image processing program for causing a computer to execute an image processing method, the image processing method comprising:

• detecting objects in an input SAR image and generating object chips;
• calculating projection information of each object using SAR geometry;
• learning, for each object, a relation between an object chip and its projection information, and thereby generating learnt features of object chips;
• and
• classifying object chips into classes based on the learnt features of object chips.
