Popis: A joint multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processing framework is proposed to exploit spatial diversity and moving cues for the enhancement of target detection in a shallow ocean environment. Orthogonal signals are transmitted to illuminate different aspects of a target and beamforming operation is carried out over the received data for estimating target bearing. The target range is achieved by a replica correlation integrator where the beamformer outputs are matched with transmitted signals. After meanshift clustering algorithm is carried out over the bearing-range spectrums to generate the clutter centers, the potential trajectories of targets can be tracked by an improved Bernoulli filter with inputs of these centers. The at-sea experimental results have shown the effectiveness of the joint processing framework in MIMO detection of moving targets.
