Titolo Track-Before-Detect for Sea Clutter Rejection: Tests with Real Data

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the detection architecture proposed, where a track-before-detect processor elaborates the plot-lists provided on a scan-by-scan basis by the detector and plot-extractor of a radar system, and present new experimental results based on a real data acquisition from a ground-based sea-search radar. This study, which complements the previous theoretical and numerical analysis, shows that the detection scheme proposed is effective in reducing seaclutter and readily implementable in existing radar systems. As a further contribution, we also develop an improved decision logic for plot-confirmation.
