Fast neural algorithms for detecting moving targets in highly noisy environments

Abstract

The detection of targets moving in an environment dominated by "noise" is addressed from the perspective of nonlinear dynamics. Sensor data are used to drive a Korteweg-deVries (soliton) equation, inducing a resonance-type phenomenon which indicates the presence of hidden target signals. The algorithm is implemented in terms of a novel neural architecture, which we have named "spectral network", which can easily be implemented in optoelectronic hardware.
