A combined Gaussian mixture model and hidden Markov model (HMM) is developed to
distinguish between slow moving animal and human targets using mel-cepstrum …

Interference is a key factor in radar return misdetection. Strong interference might make it
difficult to detect the signal or targets. When interference occurs in the sidelobes of the …

A major challenge in radar detection is to optimize both the detection performance and
computation cost. In Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) algorithms, different detectors can …

This paper describes measurements of urban ground clutter made from the CSIR campus in
Pretoria, South-Africa. The measurements were made using a wideband X-band radar. The …

A Simulation for human Doppler response is developed based on the Carnegie Mellon
University motion capture database. This data is used to simulate human Doppler response …

A priori knowledge of the clutter statistics is required in maximizing a radar detection range.
Much research has been done in analyzing various types of land clutter terrains including …

A major challenge in radar design is to not overflow the processor with false detections. This
paper investigates the performance of Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) algorithms on …

In modern radar systems with high range resolution, the statistical properties of clutter have
a significant effect on the performance of the radar. Analyzing the radar returns from various …

This paper describes a simple process for the generation of arbitrary probability distributions
of complex data with correlation from sample to sample, optimized for hardware in the loop …

South Africa is currently struggling to deal with a significant poaching and livestock theft
problem. This work is concerned with the detection and classification of ground based …
