Target Detection Using Radar with Dynamic Programming Approach

Dim point target from an image sequence has been merged into the clutter. So the image has a low SNR and the detection of the dim point target under the low conditions becomes the sticking point. We introduce a novel tracking system based on dynamic programming algorithm (DPA). This algorithm can detect the dim point targets under the condition of low SNR. The dynamic programming technique can detect the trace of the point target which is moving with straight line and reduce the calculation amount. With the result of simulation test, it can be shown that the introduced algorithm can effectively detect moving point target trajectory in image sequences than previously developed algorithm.
