Multi-Aspect Data Fusion Applied to Electromagnetic Target Classification using Enetic Algorithm

2002-01-01
Electromagnetic target detection and classification is an important problem relevant not only to military applications but also to civilian use. In the problem of a breast tumor detection and identification [1], for instance, the main concern is accuracy. In the case of the recognition of a military target such as an aircraft or a ship, on the other hand, speed of classification is as important as the accuracy of the decision as such a decision should be made within a fraction of a second. For the K-pulse target identification technique used in this research, the K-pulse design phase is rather complicated and time consuming but the interactive decision process, that is the only phase of identification to be completed in real-time, is very simple and fast.

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. Analysis of these techniques indicates that each type of algorithms has a different perspective to solve landmine detection and i...
SWIR objective design using seidel aberration theory
Aslan, Serhat Hasan; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Keskin, Onur; Department of Physics (2016)
Optical systems are used for increasing the situational awareness and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities for military purposes. MWIR (Midwave infrared) and LWIR (Long wave infrared) waveband informations are the first two wavebands information in the atmospheric transmission window that are harnessed in military night vision optical systems. Another candidate of these operable wavebands is the SWIR (Shortwave infrared). Shortwave infrared (SWIR) imaging is an extension of Near ...
Heterogeneous Sensor Data Fusion for Target Classification Using Adaptive Distance Function
Atıcı, Bengü; Karasakal, Esra; Karasakal, Orhan (Springer, London/Berlin , 2021-04-01)
Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) systems are used as decisionsupport systems to classify the potential targets in military applications. Thesesystems are composed of four phases, which are selection of sensors, preprocessingof radar data, feature extraction and selection, and processing of features toclassify potential targets. In this study, the classification phase of an ATR systemhaving heterogeneous sensors is considered. We propose novel multiple criteriaclassification methods based on the modified D...
Multi-disciplinary design and optimization of air to surface missiles with respect to flight performance and radar cross section
Karakoç, Ali; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011)
This study focuses on the external configuration design of a tactical missile based on maximizing flight range while minimizing the radar signature which is a crucial performance parameter for survivability. It is known that shaping of a missile according to aerodynamic performance may have significant negative effects on the radar cross section. Thus, the impact of the geometry changes on the aerodynamic performance and the radar cross section is investigated. Suggorage models for the flight range, control...
