Abstract

To start the tracking of targets in the environment with heavy clutters is always a problem in radar data procedure. In this paper, a Hough Transform method based on Morphology is proposed to solve the problem of starting track in radar system. This method first uses morphological method to reduce clutter and noise in imagery domain, then use the Hough transform to detect the starting tracks. Simulation results show that the method well detected the short straight lines of target starting track.
