This is an activity carried out with great success by echo-locating mammals such as nectar feeding bats that are able to detect and select flowers of bat-pollinated plants, even in a dense clutter environment. Herein, data consisting of acoustically-generated high-range resolution profiles of four bat-pollinated flower heads are analysed. Multi-perspective classification performance is assessed and compared with the radar case. There are close parallels that suggest lessons can be learnt from nature.Keywords: Classification performance; High-range resolution radar; Multi-perspective; Range resolution; Clutter (information theory); Mammals; Radar200910.1109/MAES.2009.51099462016-02-24
