A Novel Approach Based on Curvelet Transform for Weak Radar Signal Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Localization and detecting weak signal are the challenging tasks in radar systems. Radar performance can be enhanced by mounting the receiver output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this paper, a novel approach based on Curvelet transform for detecting weak radar signal is proposed. We applied the curvelet transform and modulus maximum to detect the locations of laser radar echo signal. Localizing the received signal plays key during the detection of signal in noise. The parameters like SNR, RMSE and curvelet coefficients are evaluated and the simulation to real radar signal is verified by MATLAB. The statistical result shows that the proposed method effectively improves the signal noise rate of the weak signal. Keywords— Curvelet, Weal signal, Radar system, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), MATLAB.

This paper presents a novel approach for automated image comparison and robust change detection from noisy imagery, such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR) amplitude images. Instead of comparing pixel values and/or pre-classified features this approach clearly highlights structural changes without any preceding segmentation or classification step. The crucial point is the use of the Curvelet tra...
