On modeling sea clutter by noisy chaotic dynamics

چکیده
Modeling sea clutter by chaotic dynamics has been an exciting yet heatedly debated topic. To resolve controversies associated with this approach, we use the scale-dependent Lyapunov exponent (SDLE) to study sea clutter. The SDLE has been shown to be able to unambiguously distinguish chaos from noise. Our analyses of almost 400 sea clutter datasets measured by Professor Simon Haykin suggest that on very short time scales, sea clutter may be classified as noisy chaos, characterized by a parameter γ, which characterizes the speed of information loss. It is shown that γ can be used to very effectively detect low observable targets within sea clutter.

متن کاملSea Clutter Target Recognition Based on Modular Neural Network
Sea clutter is a highly nonlinear signal; it has a non-stationary nature both in time and space. Many scholars found that sea clutter data are chaotic. This indicates that the system has some internal rules, but it is difficult to make an analytic formula. The BP neural network with self-organizing fuzzy spatial mapping ability of artificial happens to be a powerful tool for such kind of proble...
متن کاملTitle : Chaotic Prediction and Modeling of Sea Clutter Using Neural Networks
Radar clutter, the unwanted radar echoes, has a long history of being modeled a.s a stochastic process. The main reason for using this model is that radar clutter appears to be very random to our naked eyes. Due to this stochastic assumption, radar detection is based on statistical decision theory. More precisely, the probability distribution of noise or clutter is obtained to derive the likeli...
متن کاملDetermining the importance of learning the underlying dynamics of sea clutter for radar target detection
Existing evidence for and against sea clutter being chaotic and nonlinearly predictable is briefly discussed. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the chaotic nature of sea clutter, and its nonlinear predictability, the purpose of this paper is to examine what the best design criterion is for a nonlinear predictor which is to be used to detect targets against clutter which is known to be chaotic...
متن کاملMultifractal features of sea clutter
Sea clutter refers to the backscattered returns from a patch of the sea surface illuminated by a transmitted radar pulse. Since the complicated sea clutter signals depend on the complex wave motions on the sea surface, it is reasonable to study sea clutter from nonlinear dynamics, especially chaos, point of view, instead of simply based on random processes. In the past decade, Dr. Simon Haykin’...
