Description

Technical Field

[0002] As an important device for sea detection, radar can efficiently detect, warn, identify and track sea surface targets. However, compared with general scenarios, the dynamic ocean environment usually has more complex spectral characteristics. Sea clutter is one of the main factors affecting the target detection ability of maritime radar. Sea clutter is usually affected by factors such as wave height, grazing angle, and range resolution. At this time, sea clutter will exhibit characteristics such as spatio-temporal non-Gaussianity and non-uniformity, resulting in a decline in the performance of traditional target detection methods. Existing detection methods generally follow the constant false alarm rate (CFAR) criterion and set the detection threshold to a constant.

[0003] However, the detection threshold obtained according to the existing technology lacks robustness. When the detection threshold is too low, a large number of clutter signals from the dense clutter area in the radar scanning area may pass through the threshold, greatly increasing the false alarm probability and miss detection probability of targets, and further leading to a decline in the performance of the radar target tracking method, resulting in problems such as discontinuous tracking, track initiation delay, and false tracks.

On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0018] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide an integrated radar target detection and tracking method. As Figure 1 shown, the method may include the following steps: S10, Set the false alarm rate of all target detection regions to P FA , and perform preliminary target detection.

[0019] In an exemplary embodiment, step S10 may specifically include the following steps: S110, Set the false alarm rate of all target detection regions to P FA ; S120, Based on the false alarm rate, obtain the detection threshold T 1 , and use T 1 as the detection threshold for non-dense clutter regions; S130, Obtain the radar echo signal, and perform preliminary target detection based on the radar echo signal.

[0020] Specifically, the detection threshold T 1 is calculated based on the false alarm rate P FA and the clutter characteristics in the echo signal received by the radar, where the clutter exhibits non-Gaussian and non-uniform characteristics.

[0021] The integrated radar target detection and tracking method provided in this embodiment performs clustering processing on the traces belonging to the same target in the range dimension and azimuth dimension respectively through the preliminary target detection results; performs target tracking processing on the traces through the results of the clustering processing; and locates the dense clutter area within the radar scanning area through the results of the target tracking processing, and adjusts the detection threshold corresponding to the false alarm rate within the located area, thereby effectively suppressing the dense clutter. This method significantly improves the target detection performance and tracking accuracy while reducing the target false alarm probability.

[0022] S20. Based on the preliminary target detection results, perform clustering processing on the traces belonging to the same target in the range dimension and azimuth dimension respectively.

[0023] In an exemplary embodiment, step S20 may specifically include the following steps: S210. Based on the preliminary target detection results, use the amplitude of the radar echo signal of each measurement trace as the weight; S220. Adopt a weighted average method to perform clustering processing on the traces belonging to the same target in the range dimension and azimuth dimension respectively.

[0024] S30. Perform target tracking processing on the traces based on the results of the clustering processing.

[0025] In an exemplary embodiment, step S30 may specifically include the following steps: S310. Achieve fast track initiation through a track initiation algorithm based on M / N logic; S320. Use the traces to complete data association between the track and the traces within the tracking gate to determine the measurement traces for track filtering update; S330. Update the target track; S340. Maintain the state and attribute information of the track through track state management, and perform deletion or termination operations on the tracks that do not meet the maintenance criteria.

[0026] Among them, M represents the condition that the target is detected at least M times in N detections, and the values of M and N can be adjusted according to the tracking scenario under different clutter backgrounds.

[0027] In an exemplary embodiment, step S330 may specifically include the following steps: S3310. Filter and update the track state with the associated traces as the measurement input; S3320: Based on the track historical information and the state in the previous cycle, perform predictive updates on the tracks that are not associated with the measurement points in the current cycle but are still in the track update state.

In an exemplary embodiment, step S40 may specifically include the following steps: S410: Construct a two-dimensional azimuth-range matrix and initialize all elements in the azimuth-range two-dimensional matrix to 0; S420: Based on the preliminary target detection result, assign the matrix elements corresponding to the positions with track targets to 1 and keep the positions without track targets as 0; S430: Perform connected region calculation on the azimuth-range two-dimensional matrix, and the obtained connected region is the dense clutter area.

[0029] Specifically, the connected region calculation method is based on the connectivity judgment of the matrix, and uses the Depth First Search (DFS) or Breadth First Search (BFS) algorithm to calculate and locate the dense clutter area.

[0032] S60: Based on the target tracking processing result of each cycle, feedback the target detection information of the next cycle's scan data to locate the dense clutter area and adjust the detection threshold value within the dense clutter area to complete the subsequent condensation of detection points and target tracking processing.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment, step S60 may specifically include the following steps: S610: After performing target tracking processing on the measurement points, based on the target tracking processing result of each cycle, feedback the target detection information of the next cycle's scan data to locate the dense clutter area; S620: Based on the method of obtaining the detection threshold value T 2 within the dense clutter area in step S50, adjust the detection threshold value within the dense clutter area; In S630, steps S20 and S30 are repeatedly executed to complete the condensation of subsequent detected traces and target tracking processing.

[0034] Furthermore, in step S610, the execution period of the target detection information feedback is dynamically adjusted according to the radar scanning period to ensure that the detection threshold value and the dense area positioning information are updated in real time to improve the target detection performance and tracking accuracy.

[0035] The effects of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with simulation experiments.

[0036] 1. Simulation parameters MATLAB software is used to simulate radar scanning echo data. The sea clutter is modeled using the Compound-Gaussian Distribution with Inverse Gaussian Texture (CG-IG) model, where the scale parameter is set to 1 and the shape parameter is set to 1. In this process, pure sea clutter data is first generated, and at the same time, clutter data in the dense clutter area is added to the sea clutter data. Then, echo data of eight trial targets is added to the generated sea clutter data. The motion states of the trial targets include: uniform motion, uniformly accelerated motion, circular motion, "elliptical" motion, "8-shaped" motion, etc. Finally, integrated detection and tracking processing is performed on the tracking echo data.

[0037] 2. Contents of the simulation experiment In the simulation experiment, the detection method and tracking method adopted by the present invention are the same as those adopted by the prior art. The difference is that the present invention utilizes the information feedback of the dense area in the integrated detection and tracking processing.

The horizontal axis represents the test target number, and the vertical axis represents the relative error of the tracking position of the test target.

[0041] From Figure 5 and Figure 6 it can be seen that under the same clutter background conditions, compared with the existing methods that do not utilize the information feedback of the dense area, the method proposed in the present invention has fewer lost track points and lower tracking errors, and has good tracking performance.
