Abstract :
A 1989 experiment in detection-sensitivity enhancement of an airplane target in a background of ground clutter is reported. The experiment showed an 11 dB improvement when a high-resolution radar target was displayed as a 2-D image rather than a blip or blob (0-dimensions). A further 7 dB was observed when the target was displayed in stereo (3-D). These extraordinary observations warrant independent verification and theoretical examination
