A New Feature Based on the Fluctuation Analysis to Detect Low Observable Target within Sea Clutter

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a novel approach based on the fluctuation analysis for the target detection in sea clutter is proposed. The self-affinity and scaling behaviors of sea clutter is analyzed by using the mean fluctuation. The q-th order normalized slope of the mean fluctuation curve is used as the characteristic parameter to describe the fractal property. The tests on the real data show that the target could be clearly distinguished from the sea clutter background with the proposed approach.
