• Image processing: detect an aircraft from infrared images
• Biomedicine: cardiac arrhythmia(心律不齐) from heartbeat sound wave
• Control: detect occurrence of abrupt change in system to be controlled
• Seismology: detect presence of oil deposit
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DETECTION AND
ESTIMATION
• Detection:
Discrete set of hypotheses
Right or wrong
• Estimation:
Continuous set of hypotheses
Almost always wrong - minimize error instead
