Different Tools for Clutter Mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stationary clutter arises in a wide area of different radar or sonar applications. Without adaption to a non-uniform clutter distribution, tracking algorithms try to initialize tracks in these areas repeatedly while in most cases there is no target to be found. The intention of this paper is to discuss different ways to enable clutter mapping in order to use this as an efficient tool for target tracking algorithms. The methods will be applied to the Range/Doppler tracking task in a multistatic passive radar application, and the performances of the different algorithms are discussed.

In radar detection, the existence of the clutter edge in the reference samples considerably degrades the performance of the detector. Hence, clutter edge estimation not only improves the CFAR detectors, but also can be used for partitioning the various areas of the clutter in the clutter map. In this paper, we propose an adaptive algorithm for detecting the clutter edge between two Weibull clut...
متن کاملClutter Removal in Sonar Image Target Tracking Using PHD Filter
In this paper we have presented a new procedure for sonar image target tracking using PHD filter besides K-means algorithm in high density clutter environment. We have presented K-means as data clustering technique in this paper to estimate the location of targets. Sonar images target tracking is a very good sample of high clutter environment. As can be seen, PHD filter because of its special f...
متن کاملProbability distribution of low-altitude propagation loss from radar sea clutter data
[1] This paper describes the estimation of propagation loss and its statistical properties on the basis of observations of radar sea clutter data. This problem is solved by first finding an ensemble of relevant refractivity model parameters, and each refractivity model is weighted according to its data likelihood function. A parabolic equation propagation model is used both in mapping from envi...
متن کاملRadar Signal Detection in K-distributed Clutter by Pade Approximation
In this paper, two suboptimum detectors are proposed for coherent radar signal detection in K-distributed clutter. Assuming certain values for several initial moments of clutter amplitude, the characteristic function of the clutter amplitude is approximated by a limited series. Using the Pade approximation, it is then converted to a rational fraction. Thus, the pdf of the clutter amplitude is o...
متن کاملMapping of Weather Radar Ground Clutter Using the Digital Elevation Model (srtm)
This paper focuses on ground clutter mapping for weather radars. To achieve this, we extracted the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) using the Radio Mobile software. We considered in this study three different weather radar sites namely, Setif (Algeria), Bordeaux (France) and Dakar (Senegal). The error observed between the simulated clutter surface by the Mobile Radio software and the one obtained in...
