A GPR-based landmine identification method using energy and dielectric features Akar, Gözde (2018-04-14) This study presents a novel landmine identification method that estimates intrinsic parameters of buried objects from their primary and secondary GPR reflections to reduce false alarm rates of GPR-based landmine detection algorithms. To achieve this, two different features are extracted from A-scan GPR data of buried objects. The time length of the reflected GPR signal from the underground object indicates the first feature. The second feature estimates the intrinsic impedance of the buried object. These tw...
Investigation of the Effects of Buried Object Orientation in Subsurface Target Detection by GPR Doğan, Mesut; Sayan, Gönül (2017-10-27) Use of ultra-widehand ground penetrating radars (GPRs) have been the most effective approach in subsurface target detection. Proper preprocessing, prescreening, feature extraction, classification and fusion techniques are all needed to satisfy the requirements of high detection probability and low false alarm rates, simultaneously. Dominating ground reflection signals and soil clutter effects including the randomly varying non-planar ground surfaces, inhomogeneous soil nature, pebbles or rocks within the so...
Through-The-Wall Target Detection using GPR A-Scan Data: Effects of Different Wall Structures on Detection Performance DOĞAN, MESUT; Sayan, Gönül (2017-09-27) Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is an electromagnetic sensor based on the ultra-wideband radar technology that can also be used for through-the-wall (TTW) target recognition. Search for the presence of designated targets hidden behind the walls, such as stationary or moving human bodies or certain types of weapons, is addressed in various critical applications; in rescue missions after earthquakes or in military operations, etc. In such inverse problems, type of the wall is as important as the properties and...
Combination of physics-based and image-based features for landmine identification in ground penetrating radar data Genc, Alper; Akar, Gözde (SPIE-Intl Soc Optical Eng, 2019-4-23) Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a powerful technology for detection and identification of buried explosives, especially with little or no metal content. However, subsurface clutter and soil distortions increase false alarm rates of current GPR-based landmine detection and identification methods. Most existing algorithms use shape-based, image-based, and physics-based techniques. Analysis of these techniques indicates that each type of algorithm has a different perspective to solve the landmine detection a...
Multi-feature fusion for GPR-based landmine detection and classification Genç, Alper; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a powerful technology for detection and identification of buried explosives especially with little or no metal content. However, subsurface clutter and soil distortions increase false alarm rates of current GPR-based landmine detection and identification methods. Most existing algorithms use shape- based, image-based and physics-based techniques.
