Target detection experiments with a non-parametric detector on a new hyperspectral data set

Target detection experiments with a novel non-parametric detector are carried out exploiting the availability of a new hyperspectral data set featuring a suburban scene with several different targets. Benefiting from its non-parametric nature and from its data adaptivity deriving from the variable-bandwidth approach, the detector is shown to provide promising results for the detection of the targets of interest both in global and local configurations.
