Abstract
This paper presents a shape feature aided target detection method for micro-drone surveillance radar in order to mitigate the false alarms caused by the ground clutter. The method consists of a segmentation threshold selection method based on target measurements and a shape-feature extraction method based on Hu moments. Then the performance of the proposed method is verified experimentally using a real radar system. Field experiment using DJI phantom 3 is conducted, and the measured data is analysed. The results show that although there exist some limitations, the proposed method has good performance on eliminating the false alarms caused by the strong ground clutter in micro-drone detection and improving the target tracking accuracy.
