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…
Many countries in the world are contaminated with landmines. Several thousand casualties occur every year. Although there are certain types of mines that can be detected from a safe stand-off position with tools, humanitarian demining is…
The problem of radar detection in compound Gaussian clutter when a radar signature is not completely known has not been considered yet and is addressed in this paper. We proposed a robust technique to detect, based on the generalized…
Landmines, specifically anti-tank mines, cluster bombs, and unexploded ordnance form a serious problem in many countries. Several landmine sweeping techniques are used for minesweeping. This paper presents the design and the implementation…
Buried landmines and unexploded remnants of war are a constant threat for the population of many countries that have been hit by wars in the past years. The huge amount of human lives lost due to this phenomenon has been a strong motivation…
The likelihood ratio test (LRT) and the related $F$ test, do not (even asymptotically) adhere to their nominal $\chi^2$ and $F$ distributions in many statistical tests common in astrophysics, thereby casting many marginal line or source…
To solve the problem of detecting subspace signals in nonzero-mean clutter, we propose adaptive detectors, based on the strategies of generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT), Rao test, Wald test, gradient test, and Durbin test. The results…
Large language models (LLMs) have exhibited remarkable fluency across various tasks. However, their unethical applications, such as disseminating disinformation, have become a growing concern. Although recent works have proposed a number of…
In this paper, we investigate full-wave computed radar tomography (CRT) using a rubble-pile asteroid model in which a realistic shape (Itokawa) is coupled with a synthetic material composition and structure model. The aim is to show that…
This paper addresses the standard generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) detection problem of weak signals in background noise. In so doing, we consider a nonfluctuating target embedded in complex white Gaussian noise (CWGN), in which the…
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) provides a promising technology for accurate subsurface object detection. In particular, it has shown promise for detecting landmines with low metal content. However, the ground bounce (GB) that is present in…
Direct blast is a strong interference in bistatic sonar and difficult to suppress due to multipath propagation for blasts and signals. A generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) based detection scheme in the frequency domain of the received…
The paper addresses the problem of designing radar detectors more robust than Kelly's detector to possible mismatches of the assumed target signature, but with no performance degradation under matched conditions. The idea is to model the…
The problems regarding spectrum sensing are studied by exploiting a priori and a posteriori in information of the received noise variance. First, the traditional Average Likelihood Ratio (ALR) and the General Likelihood Ratio Test (GLRT)…
We address adaptive radar detection of targets embedded in ground clutter dominated environments characterized by a symmetrically structured power spectral density. At the design stage, we leverage on the spectrum symmetry for the…
We derive a detector function for quantum two-mode squeezing (QTMS) radars and noise radars that is based on the use of a likelihood ratio (LR) test for distinguishing between the presence and absence of a target. In addition to an explicit…
This paper introduces a novel methodology for generating controlled, multi-level dust concentrations in a highly cluttered environment representative of harsh, enclosed environments, such as underground mines, road tunnels, or collapsed…
In Change point detection task Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) is sequentially applied in a sliding window procedure. Its high values indicate changes of parametric distribution in the data sequence. Correspondingly LRT values require…
This article introduces a robust hypothesis testing procedure: the Lq-likelihood-ratio-type test (LqRT). By deriving the asymptotic distribution of this test statistic, the authors demonstrate its robustness both analytically and…
In this paper, we propose a new solution for the detection problem of a coherent target in heterogeneous environments. Specifically, we first assume that clutter returns from different range bins share the same covariance structure but…
