The invention discloses a target location extraction method applicable to through-the-wall radar imaging, belongs to the technical field of image processing, and particularly relates to through-the-wall radar imaging techniques. According to an image formed by a back wave of through-the-wall radar, firstly, high-frequency noisy points in the image are inhibited through a two-dimensional low pass filter, then, a plurality of detection thresholds with reasonable layouts are adopted, binaryzation detection is carried out on the target image, then, connected domains in the image after the detection are searched and used as possible target areas, the connected domains under the various thresholds are classified according to target subordinating relations, finally, occurrence numbers of the corresponding connected domains of various targets are arrayed, the corresponding connected domains with large numbers are selected, and statistical averages of all pixel unit locations in the connected domains are used as target location coordinates. According to the target location extraction method applicable to the through-the-wall radar imaging, accurate location coordinates of a plurality of targets comprising adjacent targets and dim targets can be steadily extracted in the target image with a low through-the-wall signal to clutter ratio and a low through-the-wall signal to noise ratio, and accurate target location based on the through-the-wall radar imaging is achieved.
