Abstract :
Detrended fluctuation analysis is adopted to research the fractal scaling property of sea clutter. Analysis results show that scale crossover exists and it is due to the discrepancy in correlation properties of sea clutter at different scales. The fit error to linear curves between sea clutter and target bins differs, which enables the effective detection of targets within sea clutter. Detection performance with real data validates the effectiveness of the algorithm.
