(2005) to support the superior performances of the biparametric scale adaptive filter (BSAF) with respect to the classic matched filter (MF) in the detection of sources on a random Gaussian background.three pages, no figuresAstrophysicsSome comments on the paper "Filter design for the detection of compact sources based on the Neyman-Pearson detector" by M.
