Abstract:
In this paper a fusion algorithm for the detection of specular echoes blurred by coloured Gaussian noise is proposed. The phase and energy criteria, characteristic of these echoes, are handled separately. First, the detection capabilities of split spectrum (phase) and short time Fourier transform spectrogram (energy) are compared theoretically and experimentally. Second, the new algorithm based on mathematical morphology operators using both time-frequency representations is proposed. In the last part our method is shown to be more robust than absolute minimisation split spectrum processing.
