Improved Hough transform algorithm for radar detection

In this paper, we describe a new algorithm for radar detection based on Hough transform which employs the slope-intercept parameter space. Unlike the conventional Hough transform, we shift the parameter space cells to perform the transform. The computation burden is reduced. Another advantage of our proposed is that those straight lines whose intercept are bigger than the radar maximum range can also be detected in our method. In addition, we also investigate the performance of the algorithm we present and show its efficiency with some simulations.
