Abstract: Scattering center extraction is the key content in the research of radar target characteristics, particularly the sliding type of scattering center. An extraction method based on the parametric scattering center model is proposed, which takes advantage of Hough transformation to extract geometric location and sliding radius parameters. The distance is gotten in the line of radar sight, and the useful information is obtained from high-resolution range profile (HRRP) series, which estimates size parameter of scattering centers and accomplishes signal reconstruction. This method solves the problems of point and sliding scattering center extraction. Simulation example manifests the applicability of the reconstructed model.

Key words: scattering center, parametric scattering model, typical reflector, position parameter, size parameter
