Global error control procedure for spatially structured targets

International audienceIn this paper, a target detection procedure with global error control is proposed. The novelty of this approach consists in taking into account spatial structures of the target while ensuring proper error control over pixelwise errors. A generic framework is discussed and a method based on this framework is implemented. Results on simulated data show conclusive gains in detection power for a nominal control level. The method is also applied on real data produced by the astronomical instrument MUSE
