A novel algorithm associated with fractal preprocessors, wavelet feature extractors and unsupervised neural classifiers is proposed for detecting radar targets embedded in sea ice and sea clutter. Utilizing the advantages of fractals, wavelets and neural networks, the algorithm is suitable for real-time and automatic applications. Fractal preprocessor can increase 10 dB signal-to-clutter ratios(S/C) for radar images by using fractal error. Fractal error will make easy to detect radar targets embedded in high clutter environments. Wavelet feature extractors with a high speed computing architecture, can extract enough information for classifying radar targets and clutter, and improve signal-to-clutter ratios. Wavelet feature extractors can also provide flexible combinations for feature vectors at different clutter environments. The unsupervised neural classifier has a parallel operation architecture easily applied to hardware, and a low computational load algorithm without manual interventions during learning stage. We modified the unsupervised competitive learning algorithm to be applicable for detecting small radar targets by introducing an asymmetry neighborhood factors. The asymmetry neighborhood factor can provide a protective learning to present interference from clutter and improve the learning effects of radar targets. The small radar targets in Millimeter wave(MMW) and X-band radar images have been successfully discriminated by our proposed algorithm. The effective, efficient, high noise immunity characteristics for our proposed algorithm have been demonstrated to be suitable for automatic and real time applications.
