Abstract :
We present a constant-false alarm rate detection scheme for use in Through-the-Wall Radar Imaging. We consider multiple-viewing scenarios with an arbitrary number of vantage points. Classical detection theory is used to fuse the obtained radar images to one reference image. By doing so, clutter and noise artifacts which are strongly represented in the individual images are reduced and targets of interest are more clearly visible.
