The polarization filtering line spectrum extraction algorithm of underwater target signal

Abstract

In order to increase the performance of underwater target line spectrum extraction, an adaptive polarization filtering line spectrum extraction method is researched in the paper. By using of the polarization characteristics of underwater target signals, the polarization characteristics of underwater target line spectrum signal is analyzed via singular value decomposition (SVD) method in frequency domain. Firstly, the line spectrum signal is presented by the eigenimage corresponding to the maximum singular value to increase the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the signal. Then the polarization parameters are extracted according to the polarization characteristics of the line spectrum signals. And the line spectrum signal is filtered by constructing the polarization filtering function. The simulation results show that the output SNR of the proposed method are larger than that of conventional FFT analysis method when the SNR of the signal is larger than -9dB, and the detection probability of the proposed method is 100% when the SNR of the signal is -1 dB, while the detection probability of the conventional FFT analysis method is 27.73%. It shows that the proposed method provides a new approach for underwater line spectrum signal extraction techniques.
