Abstract :
Presents a method to incorporate jitter information to a precise position score function that allow us to detect very slow moving targets. For analyzing the TBD algorithm output data, we suggest building a filter that would match the target signature and test similarity between it and suspected high local maximas. Running that algorithm, we achieved detections within 90% of higher similarity scores for SNRs>2. These results are very promising and we now intend to examine the described algorithms for more difficult scenarios and conditions.
