Original Algorithm

Spaceborne spotlight SAR mode has drawn attention due to its high-resolution capability, however, the studies about moving target detection with this mode are less. The paper proposes an image sequence-based method entitled modified logarithm background subtraction to detect ground moving targets with Gaofen-3 Single Look Complex (SLC) spotlight SAR images. The original logarithm background subtraction method is designed by our team for airborne SAR. It uses the subaperture image sequence to generate a background image, then detects moving targets by using image sequence to subtract background. When we apply the original algorithm to the spaceborne spotlight SAR data, a high false alarm problem occurs. To tackle the high false alarm problem due to the target’s low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) in spaceborne cases, several improvements are made. First, to preserve most of the moving target signatures, a low threshold CFAR (constant false alarm rate) detector is used to get the coarse detection. Second, because the moving target signatures have higher density than false detections in the coarse detection, a modified DBSCAN (density-based spatial-clustering-of-applications-with-noise) clustering method is then adopted to reduce false alarms. Third, the Kalman tracker is used to exclude the residual false detections, due to the real moving target signature having dynamic behavior. The proposed method is validated by real data, the shown results also prove the feasibility of the proposed method for both Gaofen-3 and other spaceborne systems.

Complex Scenes

For target detection in complex scenes of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, the false alarms in the land areas are hard to eliminate, especially for the ones near the coastline. Focusing on the problem, an algorithm based on the fusion of multiscale superpixel segmentations is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the SAR images are partitioned by using different scales of superpixel segmentation. For the superpixels in each scale, the land-sea segmentation is achieved by judging their statistical properties. Then, the land-sea segmentation results obtained in each scale are combined with the result of the constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detector to eliminate the false alarms located on the land areas of the SAR image. In the end, to enhance the robustness of the proposed algorithm, the detection results obtained in different scales are fused together to realize the final target detection. Experimental results on real SAR images have verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Modern Warfare

The ocean is a very important arena in modern warfare where all marine powers deploy their military forces. Due to the complex environment of the ocean, underwater equipment has become a very threatening means of surprise attack in modern warfare. Therefore, the timely and effective detection of underwater moving targets is the key to obtaining warfare advantages and has important strategic significance for national security. In this paper, magnetic flux induction technology was studied with regard to the difficulty of detecting underwater concealed moving targets. Firstly, the characteristics of a magnetic target were analyzed and an equivalent magnetic dipole model was established. Secondly, the structure of the rectangular induction coil was designed according to the model, and the relationship between the target’s magnetism and the detection signal was deduced. The variation curves of the magnetic flux and the electromotive force induced in the coil were calculated by using the numerical simulation method, and the effects of the different motion parameters of the magnetic dipole and the size parameters of the coil on the induced electromotive force were analyzed. Finally, combined with the wavelet threshold filter, a series of field tests were carried out using ships of different materials in shallow water in order to verify the moving target detection method based on magnetic flux induction technology. The results showed that this method has an obvious response to moving targets and can effectively capture target signals, which verifies the feasibility of the magnetic flux induction detection technology.

In radar signal processing, detecting the moving targets in a cluttered background remains a challenging task due to the moving out and entry of targets, which is highly unpredictable. In addition, detection of targets and estimation of the parameters have become a major constraint due to the lack of required information. However, the appropriate location of the targets cannot be detected using the existing techniques. To overcome such issues, this paper presents a developed Deep Convolutional Neural Network-enabled Neuro-Fuzzy System (Deep CNN-enabled Neuro-Fuzzy system) for detecting the moving targets using the radar signals. Initially, the received signal is presented to the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT), matched filter, radar signatures-enabled Deep Recurrent Neural Network (Deep RNN), and introduced deep CNN to locate the targets. The target location output results are integrated using the newly introduced neuro-fuzzy system to detect the moving targets effectively. The proposed deep CNN-based neuro-fuzzy system obtained effective moving target detection results by varying the number of targets, iterations, and the pulse repetition level for the metrics, like detection time, missed target rate, and MSE with the minimal values of 1.221s, 0.022, and 1,952.15.

A macro-pulse photon counting Lidar is described in this paper, which was designed to implement long-range and high-speed moving target detection. The ToF extraction method for the macro-pulse photon counting Lidar system is proposed. The performance of the macro pulse method and the traditional pulse accumulation method were compared in theory and simulation experiments. The results showed that the performance of the macro-pulse method was obviously better than that of the pulse accumulation method. At the same time, a laboratory verification platform for long range and high-speed moving targets was built. The experimental results were highly consistent with the theoretical and simulation results. This proved that the macro pulse photon counting Lidar is an effective method to measure long range high-speed moving targets.

Background Clutter

Precise and efficacious detection of moving targets is a prominent task in on-going synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technique. The perception of moving object allows quite significant data about the situation under observation for both surveillance and intelligence activities. The task of accurately locating moving targets against strong background clutter in minimum of time is of utmost interest in the current research area. Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) concentrates the energy of the required chirp signal so that it can be well separated from the chirp like noise. The proposed SAR Moving Target Detection (MTD) process is based on the combination of FrFT with the adaptive-neuro fuzzy decisive technique. The correlation among the received signal and the FrFT of the received signal are computed which maximizes the required signal energy and applied to the adaptive-neuro fuzzy decisive module that detects the target location adaptively using the fuzzy linguistic rules. The simulation is performed by changing the number of targets, different Pulse repetition intervals, antenna turn velocity, iterations and the analysis is carried out based on the metrics, like detection time, missed target rate, and Mean Square Error (MSE), proving that the proposed Adaptive-Neuro Fuzzy-based MTD process detected the object in 5.0237 secs with a minimum missed target rate of 0.1210 and MSE of 23377.48.

Abstract In this paper, a novel moving target detection method for sequential Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images with different azimuth-squint angles is proposed. In sequential SAR images, due to the movement of the target, the imaging position of moving targets among different frames differs. The method proposed in this paper uses this kind of motion characteristics to achieve the detection of moving targets in multi-frame SAR images. This algorithm can be divided into two parts: block-level detection and pixel-level detection. Block-level detection is achieved by stacked denoising autoencoders to extract the high-dimensional features of the moving target. Pixel-level detection consists of Local Binary Similarity Patterns (LBSP) coding as well as grayscale background subtraction. Pixel-level detection only needs to consider the pixels of foreground image pieces which contain moving targets. This method can not only increase the detection speed, but also suppress the false alarm problem caused by clutter. Experiments are carried out for verifying the validation of the method and the comparison are made between the proposed method and the traditional Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) algorithm.

Distinct Features

Video synthetic aperture radar (VideoSAR) can detect and identify a moving target based on its shadow. A slowly moving target has a shadow with distinct features, but it cannot be detected by state-of-the-art difference-based algorithms because of minor variations between adjacent frames. Furthermore, the detection boxes generated by difference-based algorithms often contain such defects as misalignments and fracture. In light of these problems, this study proposed a robust moving target detection (MTD) algorithm for objects on the ground by fusing the background frame detection results and the difference between frames over multiple intervals. We also discuss defects that occur in conventional MTD algorithms. The difference in background frame was introduced to overcome the shortcomings of difference-based algorithms and acquire the shadow regions of objects. This was fused with the multi-interval frame difference to simultaneously extract the moving target at different velocities while identifying false alarms. The results of experiments on empirically acquired VideoSAR data verified the performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of detecting a moving target on the ground based on its shadow.
