Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) Detector

Hello everyone, I've been wondering if a CFAR detector function would be an appropriate addition to SciPy. It is used mainly in radar signal processing to detect targets (find peaks, essentially) in noisy data. There are many variations of CFAR detection, and MATLAB has some of the core algorithms implemented: https://www.mathworks.com/help/phased/ug/constant-false-alarm-rate-cfar-dete... https://www.mathworks.com/help/phased/ug/constant-false-alarm-rate-cfar-dete... If this is a desirable addition (I'm assuming this would go into scipy.signal in that case), I would like to contribute the four methods discussed in the second linked MathWorks article myself. But I'm also thinking that maybe this might be a little too domain-specific? What are your thoughts? Cheers, Aleksandar
