Patent ID: 8188910

Claim:
A method for the multidimensional temporal kinematic filtering of blips applied to the blips detected during an analysis duration corresponding to a plurality of antenna revolutions, the filtering being performed by means of analysis channels each analysis channel defining the movement of a target model from an initial position corresponding to the start of the analysis duration, the position of the target model for a given antenna revolution being assigned an uncertainty interval said method comprising: a first step of storage of the blips detected from antenna revolution to antenna revolution, the storage of the detected blips being done for a given number N of revolutions corresponding to the analysis duration; a second step of grouping the stored blips into subsets, a subset comprising the blips located in one and the same analysis channel; a third step of classifying the various subsets into a plurality of groups, each group corresponding to the subsets comprising blips for which the combined assertion of a plurality of attributes, the value of each attribute being integrated over the analysis duration, is verified; a fourth step of qualifying the stored blips, a criterion for qualification of a given blip being defined by the membership of the blip to one or another of the groups; a fifth step of selective transmission of the qualified blips, the conditions for transmission of a blip being dependent on the qualification of this blip.
