Abstract:

Aiming at the problem that the traditional time-frequency analysis method is limited to the analysis of sea clutter, a feature detection method of floating small target on the sea surface based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD) energy proportion is proposed. Firstly, the received echo is divided into several independent intrinsic mode function (IMF) components with different scales by EMD, which can realize the decomposition of the frequency for the received echo from high frequency to low frequency. Secondly, the correlation coefficients between the IMF components and the received echo data are established respectively. And the ratio of mean to standard deviation is used as the criterion to filter the IMF components, which can automatically select the low-order IMF components with large energy and stable fluctuation. Finally, the average energy proportion of IMF component in the original signal is extracted as the feature, and the Monte Carlo method is used to set the threshold for sea surface target anomaly detection. The results of the measured data show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of the comparison algorithm.

Key words: empirical mode decomposition (EMD), correlation coefficient, energy ratio, floating small target detection
