“…Due to this, there are three choices available for j, corresponding to a minimum (denoted MIN, when j = 1), median (MED, j = 2), and maximum (MAX, j = 3). Figure 2 compares the performance of these decision rules, where the detection process (10) coupled with binary integration is denoted as the nonlinear mapping (NLM). In this case, the CUT SCR is 5 dB, representing a small target.…”
