New Concepts in Maritime Detection

The newly formed Victorian Chapter of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society (AESS), in collaboration with RMIT University, is pleased invite you to our chapter launch, and inaugural talk by Distinguished Lecturer Dr Luke Rosenburg (FIEEE). This will provide an excellent opportunity to meet and greet other chapter members, in addition to faculty members from RMIT University's Space Communications Group.
Lecture Topic:
Detection in the maritime domain requires the radar return from targets to be distinguishable from the background interference. These radars traditionally use non-coherent processing due to the time-varying and range-varying nature of the Doppler spectra. However, as radar platforms fly higher and look down at steeper angles, the sea clutter power will increase and traditional methods will not be as effective. This talk covers several new approaches for target detection in the maritime domain. These include the use of sparse signal separation algorithms, including dictionary learning, two machine learning algorithms and the application of the single snapshot coherent detector. Each of these techniques is demonstrated using either real or realistic simulated sea clutter and shows good potential when compared to traditional processing methods.
