in this paper, we deal with the problem of adaptive coherent signal detection in gaussian interference (clutter plus noise) for surveillance pulse radars. some of the adaptive radar detectors exploit the ar model for clutter. most of these detectors have been obtained using the glr test. this test relies on the maximum likelihood estimation whose accuracy depends on the number of data. whereas,...

Here we present a novel, information-theoretic salient line segment detector. Existing line detectors typically only use the image gradient to search for potential lines. Consequently, many lines are found, particularly in repetitive scenes. In contrast, our approach detects lines that define regions of significant divergence between pixel intensity or colour statistics. This results in a novel...

In this research, we present a methodology for extracting very narrow lines in correlated noisy environments. The approach is a generalization of the analysis of variance applied to the symmetrically balanced incomplete-blocks design. It encompasses many well-known algorithms when subjected to more restrictive conditions. The detector is robust and superior to the polynomial-approximation-based...

& In an HPLC system the detector is the component responsible for turning a physical or chemical attribute into a measureable signal corresponding to concentration or identity. In the early days of HPLC, detection was often carried out by collecting fractions and analyzing them off-line. It wasn’t until the 1940’s and 1950’s that the first online detectors for HPLC were introduced. Certainly an...

Introduction Hadron-therapy is an effective technique used to treat tumors that are located between or nearby vital organs. The Italian National Center of Oncological Hadron-therapy (CNAO) has been realized as the first facility in Italy to treat very difficult tumors with protons and Carbon ions. The on-line monitor system for CNAO has been developed by the Department of Physics of the Univers...
