Abstract

Under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio, the target detection performance of radar decreases, which seriously affects the tracking and recognition for the long-range small targets. To solve it, this paper proposes a target detection algorithm using convolutional neural network to process graphically expressed range time series signals. First, the two-dimensional echo signal was processed graphically. Second, the graphical echo signal was detected by the improved convolutional neural network. The simulation results under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio show that, compared with the multi-pulse accumulation detection method, the detection method based on convolutional neural network proposed in this paper has a higher target detection probability, which reflects the effectiveness of the method proposed in this paper.
