摘要:

海杂波背景下对漂浮小目标的检测是海面搜索雷达面临的难点与重点.针对高分辨海杂波的非均匀、非平稳特性,在提出分块白化方法对海杂波进行抑制的基础上,利用纯杂波与含目标回波在时频平面上能量分布的差异,提出时频脊引导的Hough变换提取时频特征,并得到基于该特征的检测器. 实测IPIX雷达数据表明当观测时间较短时,该检测器具有比基于分形的检测器更好的检测性能.

Abstract:

It is always a difficult task for the marine surface surveillance radar to detect the floating small target embedded in the sea clutter. Considering the non-uniform and non-stationary nature of sea clutter, the block-whitening strategy is used to suppress the clutter. By analyzing the differences between the energy distributions of the clutter-only returns and those of the returns with the target in the time-frequency (TF) plane, a TF feature is extracted via the TF-ridge-aided Hough transform. A detector using the TF feature is proposed. Experimental results for the IPIX radar datasets show that the proposed detector attains a better detection performance than the fractal-based detector in a relatively short observation time.
