title: On classification of multispectral infrared image data.
abstract: A detector is proposed that is based on a model in which the signal components consist of radiant thermal energy from either the small target or the intense, highly structured background. The resulting statistic is effective in enhancing the target and suppressing cluttered background. Estimation of the system parameters based on stochastic approximation techniques is presented. Simulation results demonstrate the practicality of the proposed detector.
