in this paper, we deal with the problem of adaptive coherent signal detection in gaussian interference (clutter plus noise) for surveillance pulse radars. some of the adaptive radar detectors exploit the ar model for clutter. most of these detectors have been obtained using the glr test. this test relies on the maximum likelihood estimation whose accuracy depends on the number of data. whereas,...

in this paper, the detector of moving target in mimo radar with widely separated antenna in the presence of α-stable clutter is proposed. due to the complexity of unknown parameter estimation in the presence of target, the rao test is applied. the α-stable model is a general model that can applied to different environments with appropriate selection of parameters. the problem with this model is...

Clutter plays a very important role in the area of machine and human-in-the-loop target acquisition. A great deal of interest has recently been shown in assessing several different definitions of clutter. In spite of so many definitions available, no single clutter definition has been agreed on by the target acquisition modeling community as being the best. In this paper, we develop a new clutt...

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...

INTRODUCTION This study was conducted to: develop a multidimensional measure of display clutter for advanced head-up displays (HUDs) incorporating enhanced and synthetic vision; assess the influence of HUD configuration on perceptions of display clutter, workload, and flight performance; model clutter scores in terms of visual display properties; and model flight performance in terms of subject...

In this paper we describe an extension to the MATLAB Phased Array Toolkit that adds a configurable clutter object to model clutter signals returned along a specified signal path. The clutter model is based on the Simkins Unified Clutter Model[1]. The current implementation supports sea clutter in any of five sea states with configurable polarization, grazing angle, and beam width. We describe t...

in this paper, the detection of moving targets in airborne widely separated phased multiple input multiple output (mimo) radars which are located on moving platform is investigated. in order to derive the detector, the generalized likelihood ratio test is applied. the proposed detection rule, exploits the clutter subspace information and its maximum likelihood estimation, to improve the detecti...

The application of adaptive filtering for the suppression of naturally occurring clutter in infrared images generated by a dual-band imaging sensor is investigated. Two natural occurring clutter types, namely sea and cloud clutter are examined in detail. The LMS FIR filtering technique is evaluated against these clutter types. By applying a 1 × 1 (1 filter tap) adaptive filter on a per row basi...
