Abstract:
This paper presents some efficient suboptimal detectors, based on statistical descriptors, which take advantage of the high-resolution characteristics of the high-resolution radars (HRR). Which are one of the first stages of the sensor-based localization and tracking technologies. The detection performance has been studied under noise and sea clutter conditions, with non-coherent data from both real and synthetic extended targets. We have also made an adaptation of the classical moving window detection technique for the high-resolution radars, making use of it as a reference technique to evaluate the results obtained with the detection techniques that we present. The experimental results were obtained with the ARIES radar, a maritime surface surveillance LFM-CW HRR operating in X-band.
