Abstract

In image processing, the Matched Filter algorithm uses the estimated covariance matrix to give each pixel a score based on the similarity between the pixel and the signature of the target. While using this target detection algorithm, false alarms are inevitable. In order to solve this problem, a method using an iterative process to produce a second covariance matrix which only uses the most likely false alarms was presented [6]. In this paper, we test this method, attempt to improve it, and expand on the cases in which it is the most effective. In all cases, the new method showed a decrease in false alarms, and in some cases a decrease of over 85%.
