Ground Penetrating Radar Signal Processing for Landmine Detection
This thesis is concerned with detection logarithms of non-metallic anti-personnel (AP) land mines and the related signal processing using stepped-frequency ground penetrating radar (SF-GPR) technique. Modern land mines are essentially made out of plastic and ceramic materials. This makes their detection using GPR sensor almost impossible without proper signal processing. Many signal processing ...
متن کاملSignal Processing Techniques for Landmine Detection Using Impulse Ground Penetrating Radar
Landmines are affecting the lives and livelihoods of millions of people around the world. A number of detection techniques, developed for use with impulse ground penetrating radar, are described, with emphasis on a Kalman filter based approach. Comparison of results from real data show that the Kalman filter algorithm provides the best detection performance, although its computational burden is...
متن کاملRadar Signal Detection in K-distributed Clutter by Pade Approximation
In this paper, two suboptimum detectors are proposed for coherent radar signal detection in K-distributed clutter. Assuming certain values for several initial moments of clutter amplitude, the characteristic function of the clutter amplitude is approximated by a limited series. Using the Pade approximation, it is then converted to a rational fraction. Thus, the pdf of the clutter amplitude is o...
متن کاملMulti-Feature Based Multiple Landmine Detection Using Ground Penetration Radar
This paper presents a novel method for detection of multiple landmines using a ground penetrating radar (GPR). Conventional algorithms mainly focus on detection of a single landmine, which cannot linearly extend to the multiple landmine case. The proposed algorithm is composed of four steps; estimation of the number of multiple objects buried in the ground, isolation of each object, feature ext...
متن کاملProgress in the Research of Ground Bounce Removal for Landmine Detection with Ground Penetrating Radar
Downward looking ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been considered a viable technology for landmine detection. For such a GPR with the antennas positioned very close to the ground surface, the reflections from the ground surface, i.e., the ground bounce, are very strong and can completely dominate the weak returns from shallowly buried plastic mines. Hence, one of the key challenges of using G...
