Passive bistatic radar (PBR) has attracted widespread attention for its capabilities in dealing with the threat of electronic countermeasure, stealth technology, and antiradiation missile. However, passive detection methods are limited by unknown characteristics of the uncooperative illuminators, and conventional radar signal processing algorithms cannot be conducted accurately, especially when the carrier frequency of the transmitting signal is agile and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the scattered wave of target is low. To address the above problems, this paper presents a novel weak target detection method based on probability histogram, which is then tested by a field experiment. Preliminary results indicate the feasibility of the proposed method in weak target detection.

This paper examines the problem of cancellation of cochannel interference (CCI) present in the same frequency channel as the signal of interest, which may bring a reduction in the performance of target detection, in passive bistatic radar. We propose a novel approach based on probabilistic latent component analysis for CCI removal. The highlight is that removing CCI is considered as reconstruction, and extraction of Doppler-shifted and time-delayed replicas of the reference signal exploited fully as training data. The results of the simulation show that the developed method is effective.

Bacterial colonies detecting and counting is tedious and time-consuming work. Fortunately CNN (convolutional neural network) detection methods are effective for target detection. The bacterial colonies are a kind of small targets, which have been a difficult problem in the field of target detection technology. This paper proposes a small target enhancement detection method based on double CNNs, which can not only improve the detection accuracy, but also maintain the detection speed similar to the general detection model. The detection method uses double CNNs. The first CNN uses SSD_MOBILENET_V1 network with both target positioning and target recognition functions. The candidate targets are screened out with a low confidence threshold, which can ensure no missing detection of small targets. The second CNN obtains candidate target regions according to the first round of detection, intercepts image sub-blocks one by one, uses the MOBILENET_V1 network to filter out targets with a higher confidence threshold, which can ensure good detection of small targets. Through the two-round enhancement detection method has been transplanted to the embedded platform NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier, the detection accuracy of small targets is significantly improved, and the target error detection rate and missed detection rate are reduced to less than 1%.

Small target detection is very important for infrared search and track (IRST) problems. Grouped targets are difficult to detect using the conventional constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection method. In this study, a novel multitarget detection method was developed to identify adjacent or closely spaced small infrared targets. The neighboring targets decrease the signal-to-clutter ratio in hysteresis threshold-based constant false alarm rate (H-CFAR) detection, which leads to poor detection performance in cluttered environments. The proposed adjacent target rejection-based robust background estimation can reduce the effects of the neighboring targets and enhance the small multitarget detection performance in infrared images by increasing the signal-to-clutter ratio. The experimental results of the synthetic and real adjacent target sequences showed that the proposed method produces an upgraded detection rate with the same false alarm rate compared to the recent target detection methods (H-CFAR, Top-hat, and TDLMS).
