Track Detection of Low Observable Targets Using a Motion Model

A method for detecting a low observable target track using an acceleration-based overall motion model is proposed. Unlike the existing track-before-detect methods that are based on sequential state updates, this method computes integrated echo energy for the entire hypothesized motion. The detection...
