Target Detection within Sea Clutter Based on Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

We present the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA) for target detection within sea clutter. The multifractal character of the sea clutter time series is discussed. The great hurst parameter differences between sea clutter and target by the detrended fluctuation analysis are available. Experimental results of IPIX datasets show that the proposed method performs better than that based on fluctuation analysis (FA). This type of analysis is promising an efficient framework for analysis of sea radar signals with several potential applications.
