Optimal Algorithm of Polarization Selection Power Line on the Background of the Underlying Surface

Using the maximum likelihood method, an optimal algorithm for polarization selection of power lines in a helicopter radar has been developed. A functionally deterministic mathematical model of the useful signal, structure and correlation characteristics of scattered background radiation and white noise inside a multichannel receiver are determined. A practical algorithm for polarization selection of power lines in a helicopter radar has been developed based on the solution of the optimization problem of compatible statistical processing of signals of different polarizations by the method of the maximum likelihood function. The obtained method of polarization selection of power transmission lines in the helicopter radar was studied by means of simulation modeling and experimental studies.
