SPD (symmetric positive definition) matrix is paid attention to in visual classification, because it has excellent ability to learn proper statistical representation and distinguish samples with different information. In this paper, a deep neural network signal detection method based on spectral convolution features is proposed. In this method, local features extracted from convolutional neural network are used to construct the SPD matrix, and a deep learning algorithm for the SPD matrix is used to detect target signals. Feature maps extracted by two kinds of convolutional neural network models are applied in this study. Based on this method, signal detection has become a binary classification problem of signals in samples. In order to prove the availability and superiority of this method, simulated and semi-physical simulated data sets are used. The results show that, under low SCR (signal-to-clutter ratio), compared with the spectral signal detection method based on the deep neural network, this method can obtain a gain of 0.5\u20132 dB on simulated data sets and semi-physical simulated data sets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e22090949","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,28]],"date-time":"2020-08-28T10:23:08Z","timestamp":1598610188000},"page":"949","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Spectral Convolution Feature-Based SPD Matrix Representation for Signal Detection Using a Deep Neural Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Jiangyi","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Meteorology and Oceanography, National University of Defence Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3086-315X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Min","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer, National University of Defence Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"given":"Xinwu","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Meteorology and Oceanography, National University of Defence Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaoqiang","family":"Hua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Meteorology and Oceanography, National University of Defence Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Krizhevsky, A., Sutskever, I., and Hinton, G.E.
