This paper proposes a novel approach to robust radar detection of range-spread targets embedded in Gaussian noise with unknown covariance matrix. The idea is to model the useful target echo in each range cell as the sum of a coherent signal…
In this paper, we propose an edge detection technique based on some local smoothing of the image followed by a statistical hypothesis testing on the gradient. An edge point being defined as a zero-crossing of the Laplacian, it is said to be…
