Knowledge Based Radar Detection, Tracking and Classification (eBook)

Fulvio Gini, PhD, IEEE Fellow, is a Full Professor at the University of Pisa, Italy. He was the technical program cochairman of the 2006 EURASIP Signal and Image Processing Conference (Florence, Italy) and the 2008 IEEE Radar Conference (Rome, Italy). His research interests include radar signal processing; cyclostationary signal analysis; non-Gaussian signal modeling, detection, and estimation; and parameter estimation and data extraction from multichannel interferometric SAR data. Professor Gini has coauthored more than eighty refereed journal papers, more than eighty conference papers, and three book chapters. Muralidhar Rangaswamy, PhD, IEEE Fellow, is the Technical Advisor for the Radar Signal Processing Branch at the Sensors Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). His research interests include radar signal processing, spectrum estimation, modeling non-Gaussian interference phenomena, and statistical communication theory. Dr. Rangaswamy has coauthored more than eighty refereed journal and conference papers. In addition, he is a contributor to three books and a coinventor on two U.S. patents.
