A covariance matrix is generated using the echo returns. The presence of at least one target within a single range cell is detected. A plurality of consecutive pulses are transmitted in a direction of the single range cell within a sufficiently short period so that at least one target remains within the single range cell while the plurality of consecutive pulses are transmitted. An echo signal is sampled from each of the plurality of pulses. An updated covariance matrix is estimated each time the echo signal is sampled. An eigenvalue decomposition is updated each time the covariance matrix is updated. The number of targets in the single range cell is estimated, based on the updated eigenvalue decomposition. 2, record 1, English, - covariance%20matrix

The error matrix, also called the covariance matrix, is the inverse of the second derivative matrix of the (log-likelihood or chisquare) function with respect to its free parameters, usually assumed to be evaluated at the best parameter values (the function minimum). The diagonal elements of the error matrix are the squares of the individual parameter errors, including the effects of correlations with the other parameters. 2, record 2, English, - covariance%20matrix

Solution de remplacement de la matrice de corrélation, la matrice de covariance est utilisée à titre de modèle d'erreur pour la ligne de base GPS à insérer dans la compensation par les moindres carrés. Elle est également un produit d'une compensation de réseau et reflète la précision des coordonnées compensées. 1, record 4, French, - matrice%20de%20covariance
