Ridges Extraction of Time-frequency Distribution Image-hough Transform and Its Performance Analysis
After analyzing the principle and the shortcoming of detection and parameters estimation for the multi component Chirps signal based on the bilinear time frequency distribution Hough transform
an improved method has been proposed in this paper
which the bilinear time frequency distribution of the multi component Chirps signal is regarded as an image
and ridges extraction operation is applied to the image and then the principle of detecting the line of Hough transform is used. The simulation results have shown that the proposed method not only can eliminate false detection resulted from pretense peak value of the cross term and shorten the time of executing Hough transform
but can also increase the accuracy of detection and parameters estimation and reduce noisy interference.
