Popis
Shrnutí:We develop methods for automatic detection and localization of landmines using chemical sensor arrays and statistical signal processing techniques. The transport of explosive vapors emanating from buried landmines is modeled as a diffusion process in a two-layered system consisting of ground and air. Measurement and statistical models are then obtained from the associated concentration distribution. We derive two detectors (the generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test and the mean detector) and determine their performance in terms of the probabilities of false alarm and detection. To determine the unknown location of a landmine, we derive a maximum likelihood (ML) estimation algorithm and evaluate its performance by computing the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB). The results are applied to the design of chemical sensor arrays, satisfying criteria specified in terms of detection and estimation performance measures and for optimally selecting the number and positions of sensors and the number of time samples. To illustrate the potential of the proposed techniques in a realistic demining scenario, we derive a moving-sensor algorithm in which the stationary sensor array is replaced by a single moving sensor. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of our results.
