In this paper, we develop a new elegant framework relying on the Kullback-Leibler Information Criterion to address the design of one-stage adaptive detection architectures for multiple hypothesis testing problems. Specifically, at the design stage, we assume that several alternative hypotheses may be in force and that only one null hypothesis exists. Then, starting from the case where all the parameters are known and proceeding until the case where the adaptivity with respect to the entire parameter set is required, we come up with decision schemes for multiple alternative hypotheses consisting of the sum between the compressed log-likelihood ratio based upon the available data and a penalty term accounting for the number of unknown parameters. The latter rises from suitable approximations of the Kullback-Leibler Divergence between the true and a candidate probability density function. Interestingly, under specific constraints, the proposed decision schemes can share the constant false alarm rate property by virtue of the Invariance Principle. Finally, we show the effectiveness of the proposed framework through the application to examples of practical value in the context of radar detection also in comparison with two-stage competitors. This analysis highlights that the architectures devised within the proposed framework represent an effective means to deal with detection problems where the uncertainty on some parameters leads to multiple alternative hypotheses.

In this paper, we address the problem of target detection in the presence of coherent (or fully correlated) signals, which can be due to multipath propagation effects or electronic attacks by smart jammers. To this end, we formulate the problem at ha
nd as a multiple-hypothesis test that, besides the conventional radar alternative hypothesis, contains additional hypotheses accounting for the presence of an unknown number of interfering signals. In this context and leveraging the classification capabilities of the Model Order Selection rules, we devise penalized likelihood-ratio-based detection architectures that can establish, as a byproduct, which hypothesis is in force. Moreover, we propose a suboptimum procedure to estimate the angles of arrival of multiple coherent signals ensuring (at least for the considered parameters) almost the same performance as the exhaustive search. Finally, the performance assessment, conducted over simulated data and in comparison with conventional radar detectors, highlights that the proposed architectures can provide satisfactory performance in terms of probability of detection and correct classification.
In this paper, four adaptive radar architectures for target detection in heterogeneous Gaussian environments are devised. The first architecture relies on a cyclic optimization exploiting the Maximum Likelihood Approach in the original data domain, w
hereas the second detector is a function of transformed data which are normalized with respect to their energy and with the unknown parameters estimated through an Expectation-Maximization-based alternate procedure. The remaining two architectures are obtained by suitably combining the estimation procedures and the detector structures previously devised. Performance analysis, conducted on both simulated and measured data, highlights that the architecture working in the transformed domain guarantees the constant false alarm rate property with respect to the interference power variations and a limited detection loss with respect to the other detectors, whose detection thresholds nevertheless are very sensitive to the interference power.
In this paper, we propose a new solution for the detection problem of a coherent target in heterogeneous environments. Specifically, we first assume that clutter returns from different range bins share the same covariance structure but different powe
r levels. This model meets the experimental evidence related to non-Gaussian and non-homogeneous scenarios. Then, unlike existing solutions that are based upon estimate and plug methods, we propose an approximation of the generalized likelihood ratio test where the maximizers of the likelihoods are obtained through an alternating estimation procedure. Remarkably, we also prove that such estimation procedure leads to an architecture possessing the constant false alarm rate (CFAR) when a specific initialization is used. The performance analysis, carried out on simulated as well as measured data and in comparison with suitable well-known competitors, highlights that the proposed architecture can overcome the CFAR competitors and exhibits a limited loss with respect to the other non-CFAR detectors.
The existence of multipath brings extra looks of targets. This paper considers the extended target detection problem with a narrow band Multiple-Input Multiple-Output(MIMO) radar in the presence of multipath from the view of waveform-filter design. T
he goal is to maximize the worst-case Signal-to-Interference-pulse-Noise Ratio(SINR) at the receiver against the uncertainties of the target and multipath reflection coefficients. Moreover, a Constant Modulus Constraint(CMC) is imposed on the transmit waveform to meet the actual demands of radar. Two types of uncertainty sets are taken into consideration. One is the spherical uncertainty set. In this case, the max-min waveform-filter design problem belongs to the non-convex concave minimax problems, and the inner minimization problem is converted to a maximization problem based on Lagrange duality with the strong duality property. Then the optimal waveform is optimized with Semi-Definite Relaxation(SDR) and randomization schemes. Therefore, we call the optimization algorithm Duality Maximization Semi-Definite Relaxation(DMSDR). Additionally, we further study the case of annular uncertainty set which belongs to non-convex non-concave minimax problems. In order to address it, the SDR is utilized to approximate the inner minimization problem with a convex problem, then the inner minimization problem is reformulated as a maximization problem based on Lagrange duality. We resort to a sequential optimization procedure alternating between two SDR problems to optimize the covariance matrix of transmit waveform and receive filter, so we call the algorithm Duality Maximization Double Semi-Definite Relaxation(DMDSDR). The convergences of DMDSDR are proved theoretically. Finally, numerical results highlight the effectiveness and competitiveness of the proposed algorithms as well as the optimized waveform-filter pair.
To address potential gaps noted in patient monitoring in the hospital, a novel patient behavior detection system using mmWave radar and deep convolution neural network (CNN), which supports the simultaneous recognition of multiple patients behaviors
in real-time, is proposed. In this study, we use an mmWave radar to track multiple patients and detect the scattering point cloud of each one. For each patient, the Doppler pattern of the point cloud over a time period is collected as the behavior signature. A three-layer CNN model is created to classify the behavior for each patient. The tracking and point clouds detection algorithm was also implemented on an mmWave radar hardware platform with an embedded graphics processing unit (GPU) board to collect Doppler pattern and run the CNN model. A training dataset of six types of behavior were collected, over a long duration, to train the model using Adam optimizer with an objective to minimize cross-entropy loss function. Lastly, the system was tested for real-time operation and obtained a very good inference accuracy when predicting each patients behavior in a two-patient scenario.
