title: Detection filters and algorithm fusion for ATR.
abstract: Detection involves locating all candidate regions of interest (objects) in a scene independent of the object class with object distortions and contrast differences, etc., present. It is one of the most formidable problems in automatic target recognition, since it involves analysis of every local scene region. We consider new detection algorithms and the fusion of their outputs to reduce the probability of false alarm P(FA) while maintaining high probability of detection P(D). Emphasis is given to detecting obscured targets in infrared imagery.
