In this letter, we consider the varying detection environments to address the problem of
detecting small targets within sea clutter. We first extract three simple yet practically …

Aiming at accurate weak sea-surface target detection, this letter devotes to designing a
learning-based detector that can work well even in varying detection environments. We first …

It is a compelling task to detect sea-surface small targets in the background of strong sea
clutter. Traditional detection methods usually suffer from poor detection performance and a …

Sea-surface small target detection is challenging for maritime radar. Unfortunately,
conventional detection methods are often limited to complex marine environment and low …

It is always a challenging problem for marine surface surveillance radar to detect sea-
surface floating small targets. Conventional detectors using incoherent integration and …

This letter proposes a detection method of small floating targets based on multi-features and
principal component analysis (PCA) for marine surveillance radar. This method consists of …

In the complex and changeable marine environment, it is difficult to achieve high-
performance detection based on statistical theory for small sea surface detectors in practical …

Sea-surface small target detection is always a difficult problem in high-resolution maritime
ubiquitous radars for complex characteristics of sea clutter, weak target returns, and diversity …

In this article, a multifeature detector based on isolation forest (iForest) algorithm is
developed to detect floating small targets in sea clutter. The conventional multifeature …

This paper aims to develop a feature-based detector using seven existing salient features of
radar returns to improve the detection ability of high-resolution maritime ubiquitous radars to …
