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 sensors 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,this 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. On the sea test platform,the proposed magnetoelectric fusion method is compared with the traditional single magnetostatic detection method. Test results show that the proposed method can significantly reduce the false alarm rate and it is effective.
