Abstract

This paper considers the problem of distributed detection for moving optical objects. The distributed detection system employs several geographically separated local detectors and a fusion center. The local detectors monitor the same object scene and send the local decisions to the fusion center which makes the final decision. Such a system has many potential benefits such as increased survivability and reliability. The detection of moving optical targets against spatially nonstationary Poisson background and noise is discussed. The distributed detection system is designed so as to maintain CFAR. A two - sensor example is considered in detail and performance results are presented.
