Abstract
En 中文
Radar target detection in a sea clutter environment is of significant importance in both civilian and military applications, with the detection of small maneuvering targets being particularly challenging. To address this issue, this paper introduces the autocorrelation characteristics of sea clutter into orthogonal projection operations to suppress sea clutter and enhance the detection capability of small maneuvering targets on the sea surface. The proposed method first generates speckle components that are consistent with the correlation characteristics of the observed sea clutter. Then, it uses these speckle components to derive the feature subspace of the sea clutter and applies this subspace in an orthogonal projection suppression algorithm, thereby achieving effective suppression of the sea clutter. This method does not rely on the covariance matrix estimation of sea clutter from reference cells but instead directly utilizes the autocorrelation characteristics of the observed sea clutter data to obtain the feature subspace, making it more adaptable to different environments. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that this method significantly suppresses sea clutter and effectively improves the performance of target detection on the sea surface.
