Ship wake detection technique based on constant false alarm processing in spatiotemporal domain
The present study proposes a spatiotemporal joint constant false alarm rate (STJ-CFAR) algorithm for wake detection as a solution to the challenges of ship wake detection under complex underwater conditions and unknown target morphologies. Multiframe 2D sonar images output from multibeam sonar
in conjunction with the spatial continuity and slow time-varying properties of ship wake bubbles
permit the detection of ship wakes by the STJ-CFAR detection algorithm. The probability of false alarms is minimized by leveraging the properties of background clutter random intensity
the configuration of intersecting and merging detection
and the combination of multiframe detection results. Field experiments demonstrate that
in comparison with the existing constant false alarm detection algorithms
the proposed STJ-CFAR detection algorithm can effectively enhance the detection probability of ship wake currents with a concomitant reduction in false alarm probability. This approach offers a novel methodology for the detection of ship wake currents.
