An Advanced Data Processing Algorithm for Extraction of Polarimetric Radar Signatures of Moving Automotive Vehicles Using the H/A/α Decomposition Technique

A dedicated signal and data processing chain is proposed for a fully polarimetric Doppler surveillance S-band radar to extract the polarimetric signatures of moving targets. To extract the target’s polarimetric features, detection, clustering, and tracking steps are realized for a multi-target environment in the range-Doppler domain. A dedicated...
