A new and effective method for setting parameters of ICM (intersecting cortical model)

In identifiying targets, the parameters of the ICM model need to be set manually. So we propose what we believe to be a new and effective method for setting the parameters, which is explained in sections 1 and 2 of the full paper. Section 1 briefs the ICM. Subsections 2. 1 deals with the error function, which is based on correlation coefficients, and the ICM parameteer setting procedures based on gradient descent; subsection 2. 2 gives a 3-step calculation procedure for adaptively setting the ICM parameters in accordance with different input images. Section 3 uses three numerical examples to verify the effectiveness of our method; the simulation results, given in Figs. 1 through 3 and Tables 1 and 2, and their analysis show preliminarily that our new method has slightly higher target recognition rate than the method mentioned in Ref. 11 and can indeed effectively set the ICM parameters and enhance the reliability and efficiency of the ICM.
