BAYESIAN CLASSIFIER SYSTEM USING A NON-LINEAR PROBABILITY FUNCTION AND METHOD THEREOF

A classification system and method are provided, wherein the classification system includes a memory device, a processor communicatively connected to the memory device, and an input communicatively connected to the processor, wherein the input is configured to receive data comprising at least one object that is to be classified as one of an object of interest (OOI) and a nuisance of interest (NOI) based upon at least one non-Boolean attribute of the object, wherein the processor is configured as a Bayesian classifier to classify the object based upon the non-Boolean attribute using a non-linear probability function.
