To detect targets from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, this study describes a visual time-sensitive SAR target detection technology based on human brain mapping. Expert brain central responding messages are introduced into the automatic analysis method of SAR images. A fusing detection model between brain central responding messages and features of SAR targets is built by expert on-line brain–machine combined modelling. The experimental results show that the technology paper proposed succeeds in automatically detecting and recognising targets of SAR images in actual combat environment, and owns better detection results and higher detection efficiency than DARPA's work. In conclusion, this study proposes an ideal man–machine fusion technology which is worthy of high research value and broad application prospect.
