Sparse Weighting for Pyramid Pooling-Based SAR Image Target Recognition

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

A very well written paper. It is also technically sound and presents new research results with a very important goal – the use of SPM and SR for the detection of targets in SAR images. I've few suggestion/corrections to improve the quality of the paper: 1. On line 27, “…in understanding and interpretation of SAR images.” should be changed to “…in understanding and interpreting SAR images.” 2. On line 48, please define these acronyms SIFT and HOG 3. If you substitute Eqn (4) into Eqn(5), optimization problem will not be well defined. Please correct Eqn (5) 4. I think an illustrative example on the use of your algorithm on other SAR images will bring more clarity to this interesting research work. 5. Also, the performance criteria used in the paper to show the robustness of your algorithm compared to existing ones in literature is not clear in the paper.

Reviewer 3 Report

The issues described in the paper, regarding the automatic recognition of objects, are insufficiently documented and do not bring anything new in the discussed topic. Fig. 1 of the drawings needs to be edited, it is unreadable. There are no references to mathematical formulas to literature items.
