Abstract

We present a general introduction to detection problems and estimation problems. In the first section we present shortly the two points of view, which are different. We show that in the case of Gaussian noise there is a strong connexion between detection and estimation and we give some examples. In particular we present some ideas on adaptive detection which needs estimation of a reference noise alone which is defined and used to give an example of detection receiver.
