Special Session 3: Recent Advancement in Radar and Sonar Signal Processing
For a long time, radar and sonar technology has been playing an important
role in civilian and defense applications. Based on this technology, more
and more accurate information about target in space, on land, at sea and
under water can be obtained. In recent years, sparse technique,
multistatic technique, deep learning, artificial intelligence, synthetic
aperture technique, inverse synthetic aperture technique and so on are
applied to radar and sonar filed. These techniques brings many advantages
for imaging, target detection, tracking, characterization based on
radar/sonar. For example, more accurate results can be obtained. Today,
the users require that the radar/sonar platforms like smart unmanned
vehicle are smart and flexible. This makes the radar/sonar signal
processing much more challenge. To some degree, the basic theory of radar
and sonar is very close. Unfortunately, specialists from the radar and
sonar fields do not interact with each other enough, slowing down progress
in both areas. Topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited
to, the following:
- Radar/Sonar imaging (SAR, ISAR, InSAR, SAS, InSAS, ISAS, sidescaning
sonar, multibeam sonar, sonar profiler)
- Cognitive radar signal processing
- Radar/sonar tracking
- Radar/sonar detection
- Radar and sonar technology for autonomous vehicles
- Automatic target detection and classification
- Artificial intelligence for radar and sonar data processing
- Deep learning for radar and sonar data processing
- Sparse technique for radar and sonar data processing
- Multistatic radar/sonar
- Passive and active radar imaging (SAR, ISAR)
- Automotive radar/sonar
- Data fusion
- Platform design
- Radar/sonar image processing
- Feature extraction
- Radar and sonar technology for autonomous vehicles
- Target classification
- Radar/sonar communication
- Waveform design techniques in radar/sonar applications
- Array signal processing
Topics of interest include but not limited to these listed ones. The
papers related to signal processing are also welcome. Furthermore, along
with the conference, two special issues of Advances in Mechanical
Engineering and Journal of Marine Science and Engineering have been opened
to the authors of excellent papers presented during the conference. Please
note that papers submitted to special issues of these three journals
should NOT be the same as the ICCSN conference papers. A 2 to 3 times
longer paper is typically expected, with a more detailed presentation of
the work, enhanced techniques and approaches, including additional data
sets and comparisons in an enhanced experimental section.
