Evolving Sensor Suites for Enemy Radar Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Designing optimal teams of sensors to detect the enemy radars for military operations is a challenging design problem. Many applications require the need to manage sensor resources. There is a tradeoff between the need to decrease the cost and to increase the capabilities of a sensor suite. In this paper, we address this design problem using genetic algorithms. We attempt to evolve the characteristics, size, and arrangement of a team of sensors, focusing on minimizing the size of sensor suite while maximizing its detection capabilities. The genetic algorithm we have developed has produced promising results for different environmental configurations as well as varying sensor resources.

In the past decade, object detection has been researched to use a camera, a LIDAR and a RADAR. However, camera-based techniques have heavy image processing and are sensitive for light intensity. LIDAR can measure precise distance from objects, but it is difficult to classify objects. In addition, previous researches were unable to detect partially occluded pedestrian because the data to determi...
