  • Continuous adaptation in detection systems via self-tuning from target population subsets
    Patent number: 7970614
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for treating distortion propagated though a detection system. The system includes a compensation module that compensates for untreated distortions propagating through the detection compensation system, a user model pool that comprises of a plurality of model sets, and a model selector that selects at least one model set from plurality of model sets in the user model pool. The compensation is accomplished by continually producing scores distributed according to a prescribed distribution for the at least one model set and mitigating the adverse effects of the scores being distorted and lying off a pre-set operating point. The method for treating distortion propagated though a detection system includes receiving a signal from a remote device, and compensating the signal for untreated distortions.
