In this paper, we estimate the sensitivity of the adaptive censoring algorithm towards the change of the input parameters of pulse jamming of an Adaptive Postdetection Integration (API) CFAR processor. The censoring algorithm estimates the background environment and automatically defines the scale factor. We propose this algorithm to be used for the estimation of both, the probability of appear...

A constant false alarm rate (CFAR) algorithm has been developed for use in multi-band mine detection. While it is often difficult to predict the spectral signatures of targets, the shape of the target may be known. This test exploits geometric target features and spectral differences between the target and the surrounding area. The algorithm is derived from a general statistical model of the da...
