摘要
For an airborne Iookdown radar, clutter power often changes dynamically about 80 dB with wide distributions as the platform moves. Therefore, clutter tracking techniques are required to guide the selection of const false alarm rate （CFAR） schemes. In this work, clutter tracking is done in image domain and an algorithm combining multifractal and fuzzy C-mean （FCM） cluster is proposed. The clutter with large dynamic distributions in power density is converted to steady distributions of multifractal exponents by the multifractal transformation with the optimum moment. Then, later, the main lobe and side lobe are tracked from the multifractal exponents by FCM clustering method.
