Constant False Alarm Rate Detection in Pareto Distributed Clutter: Further Results and Optimality Issues
نویسنده
چکیده
The Pareto distribution has been validated recently as a model for X-band high resolution maritime surveillance radar clutter returns. As such, coherent and incoherent detection schemes have begun to appear in the literature. Consequently, constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detectors have also been explored in recent work. This paper introduces some new detectors, designed to manage issues associated with interfering targets and clutter changes in the CFAR training cells. Additionally, the existence of an optimal CFAR is examined, to see whether such a detector can exist as in the Gaussian intensity case.

Optimal Parameters and Performance Assessment for Detecting a Fluctuating Distributed-target
In high-resolution radar scenarios, the optimal detection of a fluctuating distributed-target is addressed, in a spherically invariant random vector clutter. The optimal binary integrator is derived from the generalized likelihood ratio test design procedure. The formula of the false alarm probability implies the constant false alarm rate property with respect to both the clutter power level an...

Among ship detection methods for SAR image, constant false alarm rate (CFAR) is the most important one. However, several factors, such as detector parameter and distribution of ocean clutter, affect the performance of CFAR detection. This paper proposes a novel hierarchical complete and operational ship detection approach based on detector parameter estimation and clutter pixel replacement, whi...

In this study, to detect person-borne concealed threats in range profiles under the circumstance of unknown clutter, we propose a binary integration nonparametric detection method based on the generalized sign (GS) detector for range-spread targets in a distributed terahertz radar network (DTRN). In the detection, the length of range-spread targets and the number of dominant scatterers on range...

متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Some New CFAR Detectors under Clutter
In order to improve the radar’s detection performance under Pearson distributed background clutter, the problem of designing CFAR detectors is studied in this paper. Three kinds of distributed fuzzy CA scheme and two kinds of OS scheme are proposed. The numerical simulations prove that CA CFAR detector based on algebraic sum fusion rule provides more robust detection performance in homogenous b...
