Evaluation Of Metal Detection Audio Alert Signals Of An/Pss-14 By Means Of Real Time Visualization, Sandesh Srikantaiah Chandrashekar Jan 2010

Evaluation Of Metal Detection Audio Alert Signals Of An/Pss-14 By Means Of Real Time Visualization, Sandesh Srikantaiah Chandrashekar

Masters Theses

"The sweep arm of the AN/PSS-14 Landmine Detector attached to an independent visualization device will transform the AN/PSS-14 into a hand-held data acquisition system for conversion of real time MD and GPR audio alert signals into captured visual trace displays on an on-board PDA computer screen so that momentary sounds of millisecond durations can be captured and displayed for visual scrutiny and interpretation by analytical on-board data processing procedures. This is a part of a two-man team that is developing a visual data adapter for the AN/PSS-14 Landmine Detector where the current thesis is concentrating only on MD audio alerts. …


A Real-Time Visualization Of An/Pss-14 Audio Alert Signals For Land Mine Detection Validation, Nitin Kolekar Jan 2010

A Real-Time Visualization Of An/Pss-14 Audio Alert Signals For Land Mine Detection Validation, Nitin Kolekar

Masters Theses

"The central idea of the current research is visualization of audio alerts from AN/PSS-14. A visualization device connected to the arm of PSS-14 will show real-time display of MD and GPR Audio Alert signals from PSS-14. This visualization device displays both amplitude-time and spectral frequency-time formats of the signals. The latter format achieves visual separation of combined, simultaneous, MD and GPR alerts. The joint occurrence of MD and GPR signals in a specific time window confirms the presence of landmine. This window is defined by the time of occurrence of MD peak and time of occurrence GPR diffraction from onset …
