This paper presents architecture and method for
Detection of small targets in the presence of noise and sea
clutter interference which is a difficult task in a radar system
design. An improved target detection scheme, applicable to
search radars, using the Hough transform image processing
technique is investigated. The track-before-detect processing
method is involved in system concept which allows previous
data to help in target detection. The detectability is improved
due to better use of old energy and which is nothing but using
a three-dimensional filter matched to the target trajectories
along with the conventional target parameters. The effect of
the Hough transform to achieve improved radar target
detection and system detection performance, (i.e., probability
of detection and false alarm rate as a function of signal to noise
ratio) for small, slow targets is of much concern.
