Title
Persymmetric Range-Spread Targets Detection in Compound Gaussian Sea Clutter With Inverse Gaussian Texture
Abstract
This letter addresses the persymmetric adaptive detection problem of range-spread targets in compound Gaussian sea clutter. Based on the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT), Rao test, and Wald test, three novel compound Gaussian detectors are developed. Specifically, the sea clutter is modeled as compound Gaussian with inverse Gaussian distribution, and the detectors are derived by the two-step maximum a posterior (MAP) procedures. In the first step, we assume the clutter covariance matrix (CCM) and the inverse Gaussian texture are known and derive the proposed detectors' test statistics. In the second step, we use the persymmetric property and MAP criterion to estimate the CCM and inverse Gaussian texture parameters. Then the proposed detectors are proved to be constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detectors with respect to the real CCM. The simulation experiments are conducted by comparing the proposed detectors with their counterparts on both synthetic data and real sea clutter data. The numerical results indicate that the novel detectors exhibit better detection performance than their competitors.
