The invention discloses a
marine radar target detection
algorithm and
system based on a space-time joint filtering technology, and belongs to the technical field of marine
remote sensing. In order to solve the problem of low target detection probability under strong sea
clutter interference, three-stage
processing is adopted: firstly, same-frequency interference suppression is performed on an original
radar image sequence, polar coordinate echo data is converted to a frequency
wavenumber domain through three-dimensional
Fourier transform, and sea
clutter energy in a
frequency band [kx, ky] is filtered by using a
dispersion relation filter; secondly, intercepting a
central region of a specific wave number spectrum, extracting target energy meeting a linear equation by adopting a Hough straight line
detection filter, and reconstructing a target enhanced image through three-dimensional inverse
Fourier transform; and finally, performing target point fine detection on the
processing sequence. According to the method, the strong sea
clutter signal can be effectively suppressed and the
target signal can be extracted only by using the echo amplitude information of the
radar, so that the
signal-to-
noise ratio of the image is enhanced, the target detection probability under the strong sea clutter condition is further improved, and the method is suitable for all marine radars.
