Abstract:

This report describes a new method for the detection of deterministic signals in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise. The new method, based on recurrence plots, relies on a sliding-window technique combined with histogram analysis. Performance of the new approach is quantified in terms of receiver-operator characteristic ROC curves. The report also provides background information on recurrence plots and ROC curves necessary to understand the new approach.
