This paper presents one feature-based detector to find sea-surface floating small targets. In
integration time of the order of seconds, target returns exhibit time-frequency (TF) …

Effective detection of low observable moving target at sea is important for remote sensing
and radar signal processing. The non‐Gaussian property of sea clutter and lack of accurate …

Effective detection of marine targets with low observability gives a severe challenge to radar
signal processing. The micro‐Doppler (m‐D) signatures of marine target can provide extra …

The echo scattered from a slow-moving weak target on sea surface is nonstationary due to
the influence of waves. Time-frequency distributions are good tools to analyze it. In this …

As training samples are not always identically distributed with the clutter in the cell under test
(CUT) in heterogeneous environments, the estimated clutter covariance matrix for space …

This study mainly describes the fractal property of the frequency spectrum of the sea clutter
and the application of the obtained fractal characteristic in frequency domain to the constant …

Low-velocity small target detection in maritime surveillance radars is always a challenging
task. Low signal-to-clutter ratio requires long-time coherent integration to obtain enough …

Sea clutter submerges the small target echo, which is disadvantageous for radar target
detection. In this letter, we propose to suppress the sea clutter by orthogonal projection (OP) …

In this paper, the subband detection scheme, a frequency division tactic to decompose
received time series into low-rate subband time series, and the generalized likelihood ratio …

In this paper, an adaptive composite generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) detector using
the forward-backward income-reference particle filter (FB-IRPF) for signal estimation is …
