The Processing of Laser Signal Based on Spatial Correlation Threshold Filtering in Foggy Media

Abstract:

with the difficulties of extracting the feature of faint laser signal reflecting from non-cooperative target in foggy conditions, the spatial correlation threshold filtering approach was proposed based on spatial correlation filtering. The thought, theory and implementation methods of the spatial correlation threshold filtering was elaborately studied, especially, the selection of the threshold for the filter was analyzed. A comparative study of threshold filtering, spatial correlation filtering and spatial correlation threshold filtering was carried out to verify the filtering effect for the laser signal reflecting in the foggy environment, the experiment results shows that: spatial correlation threshold filtering method has the most effective filtering. The processing results show that the new method can effectively eliminate noise and keep weak laser signal characteristics, which lays solid foundation for identification of target nature.
