Adaptive Target Detection With Application To Through-The-Wall Radar Imaging, Christian Debes, Jesper Riedler, Abdelhak M. Zoubir, Moeness G. Amin

An adaptive detection scheme is proposed for radar imaging. The proposed detector is a postprocessing scheme derived for one-, two-, and three-dimensional data, and applied to through- the-wall imaging using synthetic aperture radar. The target image statistics depend on the target three-dimensional orientation and position. The statistics can also vary with the standoff distance of the imaging system because of the change in the corresponding scene image resolution. We propose an iterative target detection scheme for the cases in which no or partial a priori knowledge of the target image statistics is available. Properties of the proposed scheme, such as …

A detector of targets behind walls and in enclosed structures is presented. The detector is applied to through-the-wall radar images obtained by wideband delay and sum beamforming. We consider the detection problem using single- and multiple-view imaging. The statistics of noise, clutter, and target images are examined and formulated using sample scenes. The effects of wall parameter errors on the image statistics are shown. An iterative detection scheme, which adapts itself to the image statistics, is presented. The proposed detection schemes are evaluated using real data.
