This study presents a modified scheme for the radar image simulation of sea waves. A simulated radar image was obtained by taking into account the dot product of the directed vector from the radar and the normal vector of the sea surface. Moreover, to calculate the radar image, we used the radar received power and radar cross section. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, the wave spectrum from field data was utilized to obtain the simulated sea waves. The radar image was simulated using numerically generated sea waves. The wave statistics from the simulation agrees comparatively with those of the original field data acquired by real radar measurements.

Radar rainfall estimates have been widely used in calculating rainfall amount approximately and predicting flood risks. The radar rainfall estimates have a number of error sources such as beam blockage and ground clutter hinder their applications to hydrological flood forecasting. Moreover, it has been reported in paper that those errors are inter-correlated spatially and temporally. Therefore, in the current study, we tested influence about spatio-temporal errors in radar rainfall estimates. Spatio-temporal errors were simulated through a stochastic simulation model, called Multivariate Autoregressive (MAR). For runoff simulation, the Nam River basin in South Korea was used with the distributed rainfall-runoff model, Vflo. The results indicated that spatio-temporal dependent errors caused much higher variations in peak discharge than spatial dependent errors. To further investigate the effect of the magnitude of time correlation among radar errors, different magnitudes of temporal correlations were employed during the rainfall-runoff simulation. The results indicated that strong correlation caused a higher variation in peak discharge. This concluded that the effects on reducing temporal and spatial correlation must be taken in addition to correcting the biases in radar rainfall estimates.

본 논문에서는 지상에 수신 레이다들이 배치된 바이스태틱(bistatic) 환경에서 SAR(synthetic aperture radar) 이미징(imaging) 기법을 적용하여 이동표적을 탐지 및 이미징할 수 있는 지대공 바이스태틱 레이다 시스템 및 이에 대한 구현 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 시스템이 기존 SAR 시스템과는 달리 수신 레이다들의 집합에 의해 안테나 개구면(aperture)을 합성하도록 하여 탐지 영역에 대한 조사(illumination)가 길 필요가 없으며, 또한 표적 영상 복원을 위해 평면파 근사화(planewave approxiamtion)에 기반한 SAR 폴라 포맷(polar format) 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 수신 레이다들이 공간상에서 균일하게 이격될 필요가 없음을 보인다. 인접 펄스 수신신호 처리를 통한 클러터 성분 제거 과정이 포함된 영상 복원 알고리즘을 유도하며, 시스템 구현과 관련된 영상 해상도 및 수신 레이다의 공간상 위치 불규칙성에 따른 보상 방법을 설명한다. 최종적으로 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안 시스템의 성능을 보인다.

레이더 및 소나와 같은 탐지 시스템에서 잡음 환경은 균질 (homogeneous) 환경과 비균질 (heterogeneous) 환경으로 구분되며 비균질 환경은 간섭 신호 환경 (target masking)과 클러터 경계 환경 (clutter edge)으로 모델링 할 수 있다. VI (variability index) CFAR (constant false alarm rate)는 이러한 다양한 잡음 환경에 강건한 표적신호 탐지 성능의 확보를 위한 방법으로서, mean-level CFAR 알고리즘들 중에서 주어진 잡음 환경에 최적화된 기법을 선택하는 방법이다. 하지만, VI CFAR의 경우 클러터 잡음 경계 환경과 간섭 신호 환경에서 검출 확률이 저하되는 단점을 보인다. 이를 극복하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 TM (trimmed mean) CFAR와 sub-window를 이용하여 비균질 환경에 의한 검출 확률의 저하를 최소화시키는 방법을 제안한다. 모의 전산 실험 결과에 따르면, 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 VI CFAR 및 단일 CFAR 알고리즘에 비해 간섭 신호 환경과 클러터 경계 환경에서 검출 확률 및 오경보 확률 측면에서 우수한 성능을 보인다.

지상 이동표적 탐지(gorund moving target indicator: GMTI)는 지상의 교통 통제등을 목적으로 하며, 주로 합성 개구면 레이다(synthetic aperture radar: SAR) 시스템을 이용하여 짧은 시간에 넓은 지형에 대하여 효율적인 이동표적 탐지를 수행한다. 특히 displaced phase center antenna(DPCA) 방법과 along track interferometry(ATI) 방법을 이용한 이동 표적 탐지는 적은 계산량에 의해서 실시간 GMTI에 적합한 탐지방법으로 많이 사용되고 있으나 높은 오경보율을 갖는 한계가 있으며 이를 해결하기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 DPCA 및 ATI의 결합을 이용한 병렬 결합 및 직렬 결합이동 표적 탐지 방법을 제안하고, 제안하는 이동 표적 탐지 방법이 낮은 오경보율의 향상된 탐지성능을 가진 것을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다. 특히 직렬결합을 이용한 이동 표적 탐지는 기존 DPCA의 오경보율과 비교하여 1/5수준의 오경보율을 가지며, 탐지율도 향상된 것을 볼 수 있다.

Generally, the conventional tracking algorithms are very limited in the practical applications because of that the computation load is exponentially increased as the number of targets being tracked is increase. Recently, to overcome this kind of limitation, some new tracking methods based on neural network algorithms which have learning and parallel processing capabilities are introduced. By application of neural networks to multi-target tracking problems, the tracking system can be made computationally independent of the number of objects being tracked, through their characteristics of massive parallelism and dense interconnectivity. In this paper, a new neural network tracking algorithm, which has capability of adaptive target tracking with little increase of the amount of calculation under the clutter and noisy environments, is suggested and the possibility of real-time multi-target tracking system based on neural networks is also demonstrated through some good computer simulation results.

The pulse compression technique using Linear FM signal is commonly used for improving the performance of both the detection range and range resolution in radar system. In general, the compressed LFM waveform has relatively large sidelobe level which may prevent a target from being detected when strong jammer or clutter signal is near the target signal. In this paper, we propose a new weighting method which uses the square-root weight to suppress the sidelobe level. Typical applications are missile seekers and tracking radar systems where target tracking range is available prior to the signal processing. By computer simulation, we show that the performance of the proposed method is better than that of the conventional weighting methods in terms of sidelobe suppression.

This article proposes algorithms for the automatic initiation of the tracks of maneuvering targets in cluttered environments. These track initiation algorithms consist of IPDA-AI(Integrated Probabilistic Data Association-Amplitude Information) and MPDA(Most Probable Data Association) in an Interacting Multiple Model(IMM) configuration, and they are referred to as the IMM-IPDAF-AI and IMM-MPDA respectively. The IMM portion consists of several filters based on different dynamical models to handle target maneuvers. Each of the filters utilizes an IPDA-AI(or MPDA) algorithm to deal with the problem of track existence in the presence of clutter. Although the primary purpose of this study is to deal with the track initiation problem, the IMM-IPDAF-AI and IMM-MPDA can also be used for the maintenance of existing tracks and the termination of tracks for targets when they disappear. For illustrative purposes, simulation is used to compare the performance of the algorithms proposed to other track formation algorithms.

In this paper, a object detection and tracking algorithm is presented which exhibits robust properties for image sequences with complex background. The proposed algorithm is composed of three parts: moving object detection, object tracking, and motion analysis. The moving object detection algorithm is implemented using a temporal median background method which is suitable for real-time applications. In the motion analysis, we propose a new technique for removing a temporal clutter, such as a swaying plant or a light reflection of a background object. In addition, we design a multiple vehicle tracking system based on Kalman filtering. Computer simulation of the proposed scheme shows its robustness for MPEG-7 test image sequences.
