Abstract:

With the miniaturization of sea surface targets, slow-floating small targets on the sea surface have become a key focus of radar surveillance. Detection of such small targets in the cluttered sea background has always been a challenge in target detection, known as "super cluster detection." Traditional methods face significant performance bottlenecks in detecting floating small targets. In recent years, various feature-based target detection methods have been proposed, greatly improving the detection performance of floating small targets. This report first summarizes the difficulties in sea detection and commonly used target detection methods, then analyzes the principles and general frameworks of feature detection, as well as several typical detection methods at home and abroad. Finally, the development trend of feature detection methods is discussed.
