The invention relates to an aircraft target detection method under a
radar scanning mode in wind
turbine clutter background. The method includes the following steps that:
radar multi-scanning data of wind
turbine clutter are obtained through utilizing apriori information, and the maximum
Doppler frequency of wind
turbine blades is estimated according to the data; super resolution technology is introduced for the obtained
radar scanning data, so that
frequency resolution can be improved;
Hough transform is performed on radar echo data which have been subjected to super resolution
processing, so that whether the wind turbine blades are vertical to radar beams can be detected, if the wind turbine blades are vertical to the radar beams, whether an aircraft target exists is further detected, otherwise, the possible Doppler frequencies of the tips of the wind turbine blades and the aircraft are estimated through utilizing the power spectrum of the radar echoes which have been subjected to the super resolution
processing; the possible Doppler frequencies are compared with the calculated value of the
Doppler frequency of the tips of the wind turbine blades; and whether the aircraft target exists in a
range gate can be judged according to a comparison result. With the method of the invention adopted, a situation in which only wind turbine
clutter exist and a situation in which aircraft and wind turbine clutter co-exists can be distinguished, and aircraft target detection under wind turbine clutter background with any blade initial angle can be realized.
