Cluster Parameter Analysis Systems.

Abstract

This memorandum is the documentation on a set of digital computer programs which are called Cluster Parameter Analysis Systems. The purpose of these programs is to research the possibility of using techniques in sonar research programming to distinguish target data from non-target data other than the techniques which are now in use. The data used in developing these program analysis systems was initially collected at sea by the LORAD system. The LORAD system described in NEL Report 1060 is primarily an active sonar system. (However, results of this study may find application in the general area of computer-aided detection of sonar echoes.) The cluster herein referred to consist of sets of two or more acoustic data words and are caused by sonar echoes from targets or by target-like echo events.
