Abstrakt: Addressing the issues of weak echo signals and strong background interference in the laser detection of ships' wakes, an analysis of the laser backscatter detection characteristics of ships' wakes has been conducted. Based on the Monte Carlo method, a simulation model for the dual-mode fusion detection of ship wake bubbles using laser technology was constructed under different target characteristics. A dual-mode fusion detection system for ships' wakes was designed, and an indoor experimental platform for the dual-mode fusion detection of ship wake bubbles using laser technology was established. To address problems such as a wide range of echo signal intensity changes, severe signal fluctuations, low resolution, poor image contrast, and blurred target edge information, an algorithm based on multi-timescale hierarchical fusion signal processing and temporal difference accumulation image processing was proposed. Verification experiments for ship wake detection were conducted, which revealed that the dual-mode fusion detection method for ship wake bubbles using laser technology can effectively enhance the detection signal-to-background ratio and counter the maneuvering evasion of underwater weapons by ships. It achieved high sensitivity, large dynamic range, high resolution, and a wide field of view detection and real-time signal processing of ship wake bubble targets of different magnitudes against a strong reverberation background. The effectiveness of the dual-mode fusion detection mode was validated, providing theoretical support for the overall system design and parameter settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
