Obscured Object Detection Via Bayesian Target Modeling Techniques, Rufus H. Cofer
Obscured Object Detection Via Bayesian Target Modeling Techniques, Rufus H. Cofer
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications
Underground objects are by nature often severely obscured although the general character of the intervening random media may be reasonably understood. The task of detecting these underground objects also implies that their exact location and or orientation is not known. To partially counter these difficulties, one may; however, be given a model of the target of interest, e.g. a particular tank type, a water pipe, etc. To set up a quality framework for solution of the above problem, this paper utilizes the paradigm of Bayesian decision theory that promises minimum error detection given that certain probability density functions can be …
