We introduce a pose estimation method for SAR imagery using the 2D continuous wavelet transform (CWT). The computational complexity of the new approach is comparable to other image- based approaches such as ones that incorporate principle component analysis (PCA). Using the public domain MSTAR database, we show that the CWT-based method provides a better pose estimate than the PCA method.
