A method is proposed to divide the measurements for extended target by using the Clusters Optimization based on Density of Hierarchical Division(CODHD) clustering algorithm. Firstly, the adaptive ellipsoid threshold method is used to pre-process the measurement set, the measurement division is generated by using the clusters merging method. The clustering quality for each partition are calculated so as to build the quality curve, and measurement division is obtained through calculating the gained clusters number and clustering center by Fuzzy C-Means(FCM) operation. The simulation results have shown that the method can be used to divide the measurement set while the result of accurate partitioning can be obtained, and the cost of the calculation is obviously reduced. %U http://cea.ceaj.org/EN/10.3778/j.issn.1002-8331.1706-0127
