Abstract
Radar target detection in the presence of a mixture of non-Gaussian clutter and white thermal noise is a challenging problem. This paper proposes a Rectified Flow Matching-based method for radar detection, termed D-RFM. Unlike existing detectors, D-RFM learns a mapping from a standard Gaussian distribution to radar observations by capturing the underlying velocity field. Detection is then performed by inverse mapping test samples into the latent Gaussian space using the learned velocity field, with targets identified as deviations from the learned distribution. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method under both Gaussian and non-Gaussian clutter plus additive white Gaussian noise, highlighting its accuracy, robustness, and computational efficiency.
