A Real-Time Cleaning Method for Marine Non-Combat Targets

Abstract

Objectives It is usually necessary to eliminate non-combat targets for conducting marine combat situation analysis. Because non-combat targets have little impacts on situational analysis and the retained combat-correlated targets have high reference value. Most of the existing behavior mining methods, which are based on the idea of clustering, are complicated and ineffective in cleaning of non-combat targets. Methods Therefore, this paper defines multi-dimension record similarity(MDRS) and proposes a real-time cleaning method for marine non-combat targets(MNCT-RTCM). The proposed method realizes the real-time cleaning of non-combat targets by similar duplicate record detection of multi-dimensional track data. Results The experiments are carried out on simulated military scenarios, and the results are evaluated and analyzed by calculating the recall rate and the precision rate. Conclusions The results show that the MNCT-RTCM method can effectively detect non-combat targets and achieve real-time cleaning of noncombat targets in the marine combat environment.
