An algorithm to classify ships from images generated by an infrared (IR) imaging sensor is described. The algorithm is based on decision-theoretic classification of Moment Invariant Functions (MIFs). The MIFs are computed from two-dimensional gray-level images to form a feature vector uniquely describing the ship. The MIF feature vector is classified by a Distance-Weighted k-Nearest Neighbor (D-W k-NN) decision rule to identify the ship type. Significant advantage of the MIF feature extraction coupled with D-W k-NN classification is the invariance of the classification accuracies to ship/sensor orienta-tion - aspect, depression, roll angles and range. The accuracy observed from a set of simulated IR test images reveals a good potential of the classifier algorithm for ship screening.
