Separating Optical Signals in the Presence of Random Noise

摘要

This book is intended for students, engineers, and scientists dealing with problems of the detection of various kinds of radiated signals against a background of random interference. On the bases of statistical theory, the book discusses problems of optimum discrimination signals against a noise background. The case of optical (light and heat) signals is considered. Particular attention is given to an analysis of a system using modulation of radiant flux and scanning and to methods of achieving multichannel detection systems. The theoretical material is accompanied by a considerable number of examples and practical recommendations. (Author)
