Abstract:This paper proposes a land-sea segmentation method based on the combination of adaptive pulse compression and permutation entropy feature extraction, aimed at addressing the issue of strong land clutter sidelobes near coastlines affecting the detection capability of offshore targets. The method initially employs a two-stage phase compensation adaptive pulse compression technique to suppress the impact of strong nearshore land clutter sidelobes on land-sea segmentation. Subsequently, the permutation entropy of each distance and azimuth resolution cell is calculated using the observational data within the cell, significantly enhancing the contrast between land echo and sea surface echo. Finally, digital image processing techniques such as Otsu"s method for image segmentation and morphological processing are utilized to extract the land-sea boundary line. The processing results of actual measured data indicate that the combination of adaptive pulse compression and permutation entropy feature extraction effectively enhances the contrast between land and sea echoes, ensuring the accuracy of land-sea boundary line extraction.
