Abstract:
One of the main attributes of the Quanta Tracking (QT) algorithm is its ability to track dim targets. As this algorithm has been presented, the question usually arises, what is the lowest Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) that can be tracked by this algorithm? This is not the simple straightforward question to answer that it appears. Before it can be determined how small might be an SNR that can be tracked, a few definitions have to be established. First, the very definition of SNR needs to be decided. Then the definition of what it means to successfully track has to be decided. After these two definitions are determined then the experiment can be performed to answer the main question. In this paper, we define SNR for this application and the threshold for a target being “tracked”. Finally, we obtain results that measure how low can the SNR be for this algorithm to track.
