摘 要：The subject research was performed at the University of Florida between December 2005 and December 2008. The research was performed to support the ability to detect landmines in an automated fashion using ground- penetrating radar (GPR) array sensors employed in systems being studied by NVESD. The work was concerned with discovering and evaluating i) different types of features that, when extracted from signals associated with GPR signals captured over regions of earth, can help one identify the presence or absence of landmines and landmine-like objects; (ii) algorithms and techniques that can employ these features to distinguish between landmines and non-mines; and (iii) fuse the results of multiple discriminators to yield improved discrimination performance.
