Abstract :
This study proposes an improved Multi-Dimensional Hough Transform technique for the detection of low SNR targets (dim targets) in radar data. The proposed Track-Before-Detect technique improves the Multi-Dimensional Hough Transform by limiting the target´s maximum velocity and incorporating the SNR values of the targets in the algorithm. In addition, the performance is enhanced by confirming the Hough Transform results with a score-based confirmation algorithm.
