From the simplest cases where the spectral behaviour is well known (i.e., thermal SZ clusters) to the more complex cases where there is little a priori information (i.e., polarized radio sources) we will review the main advances and the most recent results in the detection problem.}, organization = {The authors would like to thank the editors of this special Issue for their invitation to submit a contribution.
