Radar target detection (RTD) is a fundamental but important process of the radar system, which is designed to differentiate and measure targets from a complex background. Deep learning methods have gained great attention currently and have turned out to be feasible solutions in radar signal processing. Compared with the conventional RTD methods, deep learning-based methods can extract features automatically and yield more accurate results. Applying deep learning to RTD is considered as a novel concept. In this paper, we review the applications of deep learning in the field of RTD and summarize the possible limitations. This work is timely due to the increasing number of research works published in recent years. We hope that this survey will provide guidelines for future studies and applications of deep learning in RTD and related areas of radar signal processing.

ABSTRACT:Water body identifying is critical to climate change, water resources, ecosystem service and hydrological cycle. Multi-layer perceptron(MLP) is the popular and classic method under deep learning framework to detect target and classify image. Therefore, this study adopts this method to identify the water body of Landsat8. To compare the performance of classification, the maximum likelihood and water index are employed for each study area. The classification results are evaluated from accuracy indices and local comparison. Evaluation result shows that multi-layer perceptron(MLP) can achieve better performance than the other two methods. Moreover, the thin water also can be clearly identified by the multi-layer perceptron. The proposed method has the application potential in mapping global scale surface water with multi-source medium-high resolution satellite data.
