Abstract :
The problem of detecting airborne targets in a sequence of images recorded by a long range infra-red sensor is investigated. The generalised likelihood ratio test detector is derived. The detector structure and its actual implementation are discussed. Approximated expressions of the false alarm and detection probabilities are obtained and validated by means of simulations. Example results obtained on a set of experimental data are reported
