By aiming at the shortcoming of false alarms when using track before detect （TBD） based on dynamic programming, a new discrimination method called statistics of direction histogram （SDH） is proposed, which is based on different features of trajectories between the true target and false one. Moreover, a new series of discrimination schemes of SDH and Local Extreme Value method （LEV） are studied and applied to simulate the actually measured radar data. The results show that the given discrimination is effective to reduce false alarms during dim targets detection.展开更多
