Fast Target Detection Algorithm Based on CFAR and Target Variance Characteristics

Target detection is a complex process that is important as an important module in computer vision applications. In particular, in many occasions where the real-time requirements are extremely high, it is very important to achieve fast and accurate detection of targets. But at this stage, there are still many problems in the research on rapid target detection, such as inefficiency and high is the first phase of automatic target recognition (ATR). For the performance of SAR image target detection, this paper proposes a CFAR fast detection algorithm based on Rayleigh. CFAR detection is divided into two steps: horizontal and vertical CFAR detection. The efficiency of parameter estimation is improved by the coincidence of adjacent point reference windows and the distribution characteristics of images. The algorithm in this paper combines the target variance characteristics to reduce the false alarm rate. The experiment was performed on the MSTAR dataset. Fast target detection algorithm based on CFAR and target variance feature has the characteristics of high detection rate, low false alarm, and high speed, and its detection performance is good. The experimental results show that the recognition efficiency of the proposed algorithm is higher than that of the traditional algorithm on different target datasets, the time is shortened by 30%, and the accuracy rate is equal to that of the traditional algorithm.
