The invention discloses a
radar track target classification method based on statistical knowledge and a neural network, and the method comprises the steps: collecting original track data, and carrying out the marking and cleaning
processing, and obtaining a standard track
data set; extracting
kinematics,
bistatic radar cross section and track morphological features based on the standard track
data set, and constructing an original
feature set; performing feature weight learning through a neighborhood
component analysis method, and screening according to a preset weight threshold to obtain an effective feature subset; performing statistical distribution analysis on the effective feature subsets according to target categories, determining significant features of each target category, and setting a threshold interval; performing preliminary classification based on a statistical knowledge classifier, and determining whether the to-be-classified track is an easily-classified sample or a difficultly-classified sample through a category
discrimination function; and classifying the samples difficult to classify based on a
back propagation neural network classifier, outputting the probability value of each target category through a neural
network model, and taking the target category with the maximum probability value as a final
classification result. According to the invention, the target classification accuracy and real-time performance can be improved.
