description 1. Field of the Invention A system and method of finding a detection threshold that separates real scene objects seen through an optical system from sensor fixed artifacts. The inventive system continuously scans the sensor so that objects in the scene move in an inverse sense relative to the scanning motion while fixed frame artifacts remain fixed in focal plane coordinate system. The difference in temporal behavior is used to discriminate against fixed frame artifacts. The inventive system finds a detection threshold that maximizes the portion of a target that may be segmented while avoiding setting the threshold so low that it merges spatially adjacent artifacts in with the target.
