Abstract

For K-distributed sea clutter, a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) is crucial as a desired property for automatic target detection in an unknown and non-stationary background. In multiple-target scenarios, the target masking effect reduces the detection performance of CFAR detectors evidently. A machine learning based processor, associating the artificial neural network (ANN) and a clustering algorithm of density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN), namely, DBSCAN-CFAR, is proposed herein to address this issue. ANN is trained with a symmetrical structure to estimate the shape parameter of background clutter, whereas DBSCAN is devoted to excluding interference targets and sea spikes as outliers in the leading and lagging windows that are symmetrical about the cell under test (CUT). Simulation results verified that the ANN-based method provides the optimal parameter estimation results in the range of 0.1 to 30, which facilitates the control of actual false alarm probability. The effectiveness and robustness of DBSCAN-CFAR are also confirmed by the comparisons of conventional CFAR processors in different clutter conditions, comprised of varying target numbers, shape parameters, and false alarm probabilities. Although the proposed ANN-based DBSCAN-CFAR processor incurs more elapsed time, it achieves superior CFAR performance without a prior knowledge on the number and distribution of interference targets.
