Abstract :
This work presents a method to filter sea clutter features for radar images acquired from ordinary marine radar sensors, which are incoherent radars working in X-band and horizontal polarization. The proposed method considers short temporal sequences of consecutive sea clutter images. This method is based on the acquired experience about the spectral structure of the sea clutter obtained from the use of marine radars to detect ocean wave fields and the related sea state parameters.
