Association Performance Enhancement Through Classification

This paper describes the improvement of localization of targets through information fusion. In particular, information about static targets is fused, that are closely lying below surface, for so named Ground Penetrating Localization (GPL). GPL is used in various fields such as in geology, mine sweeping, and Urban Search and Rescue (USAR). This paper focuses on USAR. The employed methods for GPL can be classified into three categories illustrated in Fig. 1: detection, localization, and verification methods.
