In order to achieve precise operations on specified targets from the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), classifying ground targets correctly is especially important. Micro-Doppler effect which provides unique information of targets has been the basis for targets classification. Due to the effect of ground clutter, noise and complex signal modulation, enhancing micro-Doppler features of UAV-to-ground targets is necessary for accurate classification. This paper firstly establishes the models of UAV-to-ground targets including wheeled vehicles, tracked vehicles and pedestrians to analyze their micro-Doppler differences. Secondly, Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is utilized to remove the ground clutter. Compared with other algorithms, PCA can use a small amount of calculation to remove the ground clutter while retain nearby micro-Doppler signals. Then, micro-Doppler signals are sparsely represented based on …
