Abstract:
1. A system for identifying objects based on emitted signals comprising: a receiver, configured for receiving at least emitted signals from within an area of interest; a high order statistical analyzer, said high order statistical analyzer configured for analyzing said received emitted signals from within said area of interest, and for determining which of said received signals are least Gaussian and which are more Gaussian, wherein said emitted signals determined to be least Gaussian are most likely from objects of interest, and wherein said emitted signals determined to be more Gaussian are most likely from noise or background objects, wherein said determination is based on the relative amount of Gaussianness of each said analyzed, received emitted signal; and a object of interest identifier, said identifier for receiving said determination from said high order statistical analyzer of which of said received signals are least Gaussian, and for providing an indication that said received signals which are least Gaussian are possible targets of interest.
