NAUTICAL RADAR CLUTTER SUPPRESSION AND SMALL TARGET DETECTION BASED ON IMAGE SPECTRUM FILTERING AND HOUGH TRANSFORM

Nautical radar clutter suppression and small target detection based on image spectrum filtering and Hough transform

Here, a new clutter suppression and small target detection method was presented for nautical radars based on image spectrum filtering and Hough transform (HT).It is well known that sea clutter can be decomposed into texture component (TC) and spiky component (SC).First, the raw echo image was transferred to spectrum field, taking use of the narrow

Pre-Inscribed Laser Surface Pattering for Increased Joining Strength in Laser Fusion Bonding of CFRP and Zinc-Coated Steel

In this study, we present improved fusion-bonding strength results between carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) and zinc-coated steel through the introduction of pre-inscribed laser surface patterns.Optimized laser welding parameters, including laser power, focal position, final audio sonorous vi pitch, number of passes, and clam
