Comparison of Radar-based Human Detection Techniques (postprint)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radar offers unique advantages over other sensors in the human detection problem, such as remote operation during virtually all weather and lighting conditions. Many radar-based human detection systems today employ Fourier analysis, such as spectrograms. However, spectrograms perform poorly in high clutter environments. Also, an inherent SNR loss is caused by the implicit assumption of linear target phase. In this paper, human modeling is used to derive a more accurate non-linear approximation to the true non-linear target phase and the liklihood ratio is optimized over unknown parameters to enhance detection performance. Performance is compared both analytically and through MATLAB simulations.

A Robust SAR NLFM Waveform Selection Based on the Total Quality Assessment Techniques
Design, simulation and optimal selection of cosine-linear frequency modulation waveform (CNLFM) based on correlated ambiguity function (AF) method for the purpose of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is done in this article. The selected optimum CNLFM waveform in contribution with other waveforms are applied directly into a SAR image formation algorithm (IFA) and their quality effects performance ...
متن کاملPerformance Improvement of Radar Target Detection by Wavelet-based Denoising Methods
With progress in radar systems, a number of methods have been developed for signal processing and detection in radars. A number of modern radar signal processing methods use time-frequency transforms, especially the wavelet transform (WT) which is a well-known linear transform. The interference canceling is one of the most important applications of the wavelet transform. In Ad-hoc detection met...
متن کاملSimulation-Based Radar Detection Methods
In this paper, radar detection based on Monte Carlo sampling is studied. Two detectors based on Importance Sampling are presented. In these detectors, called Particle Detector, the approximated likelihood ratio is calculated by Monte Carlo sampling. In the first detector, the unknown parameters are first estimated and are substituted in the likelihood ratio (like the GLRT method). In the sec...
