New matrix constant false alarm rate detectors for radar target detection

Matrix constant false alarm rate (M-CFAR) detector based on information geometry provides a novel scheme to the detection of target in sea clutter environment for pulse Doppler radar with small bunch of pulses. The detection performance of the existing M-CFAR detectors is greatly influenced by the geometric measures on the matrix manifold. Different geometrical measures lead to different detection performance, some of which are not satisfactory. Motivated by this, the authors utilise Root-Euclidean, Power-Euclidean, Cholesky-Euclidean and new Riemannian measure to design several kinds of detection schemes, which improve the detection performance. Finally, simulation results verify that the designed detectors achieve a better detection performance with a relatively lower computational complexity.
