ABSTRACT:
An active or passive sensor observes a region, and generates evidence of the type of target or object viewed. The evidence is processed to determine the prior probability that the object is of a particular type. The prior probability so determined is thresholded to produce an indication of the presence of multiple targets or objects in a range bin, suggestive of shadowing of a target.
