Abstract

This paper concentrated on radar signals, which are reflected from the terrain. We designed the algorithm that allows for some properties of the underlying terrain to be determined. A comparison process of two or more distributions was conducted, in which one of the distributions presented the distribution of the signal, reflected from typical terrain. Another distribution corresponded to the unidentified terrain. After the algorithms application, a decision on the most suitable terrain for the unidentified distribution was made. We then identified which type of the lengthened object crossed if the type of terrain changed.
