Advanced Jindalee Tracker : Enhanced Peak Detector

This paper presents an analysis of the Jindalee Stage B Peak Detector and highlights a number of deficiencies. Solutions are proposed for these deficiencies and the improvements gained from their implementation are measured. These solutions overcome clustering about the data sample points. In addition, enhancements are made in the areas of: adaptive thresholding to maintain a constant false alarm rate, improved data storage to accommodate non-uniform peak densities, and integration with the adaptive clutter model to associate peaks with the clutter regions.
