Characterization of Multi-Attitude Maritime Targets in Low Sea State
There are many kinds of maritime targets,the monolithic structure is complex,and the dynamic range of target characteristics is large,with strong time-varying nature.Starting from the target characteristics,characterizing the physical difference between the sea surface and the target is an effective way to solve the problem of maritime target de-tection.Under this background,an X-band radar is used to carry out multi-attitude maritime target data acquisition ex-periment.The spatio-temporal correlation of multi-attitude targets and the statistical characteristics are analysed in time domain,frequency domain and time-frequency domain under low sea state.The difference coefficient is defined to ana-lyze the statistical characteristics of the difference.The validation of a large number of measured data shows that the spa-tio-temporal correlation and statistical features of the target and sea clutter have a large difference under low sea state,which is strongly separable;the difference coefficient of the same statistical feature between different attitude targets is between 0 and 0.1,which has a small difference and is not separable.These conclusions are of great significance for the maritime target characteristic data acquisition experiment and the optimized design of target recognition method.
