摘要

In numerous researching fields involving sea scattering problems, the electromagnetic ( EM) scattering model becomes a better alternative rather than a direct experiment due to its low cost and easy realization. Nevertheless, the EM scattering model still appears to be slow and laborious when encountering the large scene or the long time case. This letter proposes an effective and efficient approach for 3D spacetime correlated sea scattering map simulation, an important step in real clutter simulation, which is based on the statistical characteristics from the EM scattering model. Namely, this approach can give a fast simulation of the large scene or long time spacetime correlated sea scattering map through the statistic characteristics of that with a small scene or short time acquired by the EM scattering model. From the comparisons of the texture feature and the statistical characteristics between the results derived from the EM model and the proposed approach, it is demonstrated that the proposed approach can give a fast and effective simulation of the 3D spacetime correlated sea scattering map.
