Abstract:Single detection method has the defects of low detection efficiency and high false alarm rate in Marine target detection. In order to improve the detection ability of the sensor and reduce the false alarm rate, a fusion detection method based on target magnetic field and electric field data is proposed. Based on the energy detection of magnetoelectric data, method uses Pearson correlation coefficient to evaluate the correlation of evidence sources, which can correct the instability caused by environmental interference, sensor anomaly and other factors. By setting up test platform on the sea, detection results of the fusion method are compared with the detection results of the magnetic field, and the effectiveness of method is verified.
