Presence of interfering targets causes a significant loss in detection performance. In this study, detectors of multiple targets, which are located at the same range cell but have different Doppler frequencies, are developed. The clutter is modeled to have compound-Gaussian distribution. The detectors that are designed here can alleviate the masking problem by means of considering the existence probability of an interfering target and performing the estimation of the target returns, clutter texture parameter and Doppler frequencies accordingly. The performance analysis was done through simulations and it was shown that the methods enable the detection with high probability, even in the presence of a strong interfering target. Besides, it was shown that the performance loss of the multiple-target detectors in single-target case is insignificant unless the signal to clutter ratio is too low.

INVESTIGATION OF RANGE MIGRATION COMPENSATION IN RADAR DETECTION ÇULHA, ONUR; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-9-1) In this study, range migration compensation methods in radar detection are examined from two different aspects: proposing novel methods to compromise between computational complexity and detection performance, and investigating range migration compensation under clutter and target fluctuation. We proposed a low complexity implementation of repetitive chirp-z transform (CZT) in order to be employed in Keystone transform and Radon Fourier transform with no loss in performance. Another efficient method has bee...
Investigation of the Effects of Buried Object Orientation in Subsurface Target Detection by GPR Doğan, Mesut; Sayan, Gönül (2017-10-27) Use of ultra-widehand ground penetrating radars (GPRs) have been the most effective approach in subsurface target detection. Proper preprocessing, prescreening, feature extraction, classification and fusion techniques are all needed to satisfy the requirements of high detection probability and low false alarm rates, simultaneously. Dominating ground reflection signals and soil clutter effects including the randomly varying non-planar ground surfaces, inhomogeneous soil nature, pebbles or rocks within the so...
Slow moving target detection for airborne radar systems by dynamic programming on SAR images Gurer, Gorkem; Koc, Sencer; Candan, Çağatay; Orguner, Umut (2019-04-01) A dynamic programming based approach is proposed to detect slow moving, low reflectivity targets for airborne radar systems. The suggested method utilizes the reflectivity amplitudes of the SAR image, possibly containing multiple slow moving targets, and poses the target detection problem as a maximum likelihood sequence detection problem. Dynamic programming is applied to capture the target related features such as along track smeared target signatures in the SAR image to this aim. Typical clutter and targ...
Tracking rectangular and elliptical extended targets using laser measurements Granström, Karl; Lundquist, Christian; Orguner, Umut (IEEE; 2011-07-08) This paper considers tracking of extended targets using data from laser range sensors. Two types of extended target shapes are considered, rectangular and elliptical, and a method to compute predicted measurements and corresponding innovation covariances is suggested. The proposed method can easily be integrated into any tracking framework that relies on the use of an extended Kalman filter. Here, it is used together with a recently proposed Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter fo...
Development of an Electronic Attack (EA) System in Multi-Target Tracking Tuerkcue, Oezlem; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2008-01-01) In this study, an expert system is developed for an electronic attack (EA) and tracking system and performance of this system is optimized. Tracking system consists of a monopulse tracking radar and Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) algorithm. The performance of this system is optimized over given multi-target scenarios. Range gate pull-off (RGPO), which is accepted to be the primary deception technique employed against tracking radar is selected as an EA technique to be developed and the performance of th...
