Two new approaches for detecting a maneuvering air target in strong sea-clutter

Abstract

Two new approaches for detecting a maneuvering air target in strong sea-clutter are proposed in this paper. One is based on the adaptive chirplet decomposition, and the other is inspired by the spectral subtraction. Experiments with real-world data samples show that both methods presented in this paper can effectively enhance the Doppler radar signals from maneuvering air targets though each has different strength and weakness.
