Özet

In this study, for high resolution CFAR (Constant False Alarm Rate) radar systems, Expectation-Maximization (EM) method was applied to range heterogeneous Weibull clutter to determine homogeneous regions and estimate the parameters of distributions. The number of distribution in range and their ratio, the scale and shape parameter of distributions were assumed to be unknown. The performance of EM algorithm in terms of, the number of clutter regions in the environment, the ratio of the regions, the number of CFAR reference cells, the value of shape and scale parameters of the distributions, was analysed.
