Abstract

Long-range surveillance and early warning of space targets are significant factors in space security. Under remote observation conditions, the energy performance of the target is weak and subject to environmental and imaging process contamination. Most detection methods are aimed at targets with a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or local contrast, and the detection performance for dim-weak small targets is poor; therefore, the target signal is often enhanced by energy accumulation. However, owing to the interference caused by the instability of the imaging system, energy accumulation errors occur in the target, resulting in the dispersion of the target energy, making detection a challenge. To solve the above problem, this study proposed a multi-frame superposition detection method for dim-weak point targets based on an optimized clustering algorithm by combining the clustering method with the inherent features of the target and using the difference between the target and noise energy distribution for detection. First, we simulated the multi-frame imaging process of the target post-disturbance and established an optical imaging system model of the dim-weak target. Subsequently, we used data dimension reduction and outlier removal to extract the target potential area. Finally, the data were sent to the clustering model for calculation and judgment. Given that the accuracy rate reaches 87.1% when the SNR is 1 dB, the experimental results show that the detection method proposed in this paper can effectively detect dim-weak targets with low SNR. In addition, there is a significant improvement in the detection performance of the receiver characteristic curve compared with other algorithms in the real scene, which further proves the superiority of the method in this paper.
