Abstract
An optimum solution to the time delay tracking problems has been previously achieved by recursively computing the time-delay posterior probability density function (PDF), or time-delay PDF conditioned on knowing all observed data, by numerical means. Any optimum estimate is determined from the posterior PDF. The same approach is extended to an optimum solution for the time delay detection problem with a randomly appearing and disappearing signal. The detector-tracker is suitable for a stand-alone detection and tracking system
