Bi-Static Target Scattering Characteristics for Detection and Classification of Buried and Proud Targets
نویسندگان
چکیده
made targets that were resting on the sediment surface, or partially buried. These targets were placed inside the 3-dimensional reconfigurable dome measurement system that is shown in Figure 1. The footprint of the TOPAS beam pattern was centered in the dome measuring system. This hemispherical dome array was developed by NRL-SSC for use in its scattering programs, and is a unique measurement system that can measure the bistatic scattering characteristics from targets placed inside the dome.

Subcritical scattering from buried elastic shells.
Buried objects have been largely undetectable by traditional high-frequency sonars due to their insignificant bottom penetration. Further, even a high grazing angle sonar approach is vastly limited by the coverage rate dictated by the finite water depth, making the detection and classification of buried objects using low frequency, subcritical sonar an interesting alternative. On the other hand...

To use an iterative time-reveral techniques to provide robust focusing along the ocean bottom, with little signal processing effort involved and a-priori information on the environment, to enhance the detection and localization of proud or buried target in shallow water. The second goal of providing undersea communications augment this program is being addressed outside the SWAMSI efort but wou...
متن کاملA Data Focusing method for Microwave Imaging of Extended Targets
This paper presents a data focusing method (DFM) to image extended targets using the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. The restriction on the number of transmitter-receiver antennas in a microwave imaging system deteriorates profiling an extended target that comprises many point scatterers. Under such situation, the subspace-based linear inverse scattering methods, like the MUSI...
متن کاملMicrowave Imaging Using SAR
Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol.-SAR) allows us to implement the recognition and classification of radar targets. This article investigates the arrangement of scatterers by SAR data and proposes a new Look-up Table of Region (LTR). This look-up table is based on the combination of (entropy H/Anisotropy A) and (Anisotropy A/scattering mechanism α), which has not been reported up now. ...
