Signal Processor for IR Sensors.

Abstract

The contract goals are to recommend improved signal processing techniques for passive infrared (IR) surveillance. Two specific areas have been considered. One is constant false-alarm rate (CFAR) processing to prevent excessive number of false alarms due to returns from clouds, glint, and other interference. Second is the specification of filter characteristics to improve rejection of undesired return from clouds, etc. and thereby increase the probability of detection of targets in clouds and other forms of natural interference.
