To solve the radar target detection problem of an unmanned surface vehicle ( USV), this paper proposed an embedded radar image acquisition and processing system. First, the architecture of the embedded radar image acquisition and processing system was presented. Based on the target location information, this system completedthe target matching in the image sequence and accomplished target tracking by selecting the location, area, and moment invariant of the target. Then a Kalman filter was used for prediction of the target location information to solve the problem of lost targets, establishing a complete chain of the target in an image sequence. Finally, the fea- sibility of the embedded radar image acquisition and processing system was verified by sea trial. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed image processing algorithm, target matching, and Kalman filter prediction al- gorithm can efficiently complete the target detection and trackinz.
