Abstract
An improved matched filter design method based on the maximum average correlation height(MACH) principle is proposed to recognize the targets in cloud backgrounds. In the process of MACH filter design, a theoretical model of power spectrum density(PSD) is established by curve fitting after statistically analyzing the real cloud backgrounds’ PSD distribution to replace the traditional white noise model. Various features of flight targets are extracted and processed by threshold to get the training set images. Correlation results of targets in various cloud backgrounds show that the average peak to correlation energy ratio is 0.71%, and the peak to clutter ratio is 0.92 of improved matched filter, the cloud backgrounds are well restrained, and the filter is also distortion-invariant to feat
