Detection of a spatially distributed target in white noise

A detector of a spatially distributed target in white Gaussian noise is developed. A reasonable distribution for the a priori target scatterer density is assumed, and a detector that incorporates this a priori knowledge is given. A simple detector form results, whose detection performance is robust over different scattering densities.
