In this paper, we consider the problem of detecting the presence of a prospective, moving target from a set of noisy measurements. We propose a two-steps approach: The first step discards unreliable measurements (i.e., those whose likelihood ratio falls below a preassigned threshold); The second step, instead, exploits the correlation among observations taken at different time instants and makes the final decision. A novel, computationally efficient, track-before-detect algorithm which exploits the sparse nature of the measurements is proposed, and experimental results to asses the algorithm performance are provided.

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the problem of detecting the presence of a prospective, moving target from a set of noisy measurements. We propose a two-steps approach: The first step discards unreliable measurements (i.e., those whose likelihood ratio falls below a preassigned threshold); The second step, instead, exploits the correlation among observations taken at different time instants and makes the final decision. A novel, computationally efficient, track-before-detect algorithm which exploits the sparse nature of the measurements is proposed, and experimental results to asses the algorithm performance are provided.
