Consistency Results For The Roc Curves Of Fused Classifiers, Kristopher S. Bjerkaas
Consistency Results For The Roc Curves Of Fused Classifiers, Kristopher S. Bjerkaas
Theses and Dissertations
The U.S. Air Force is researching the fusion of multiple classifiers. Given a finite collection of classifiers to be fused, one seeks a new classifier with improved performance. An established performance quantifier is the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve, which allows one to view the probability of detection versus the probability of false alarm in one graph. Previous research shows that one does not have to perform tests to determine the ROC curve of this new fused classifier. If the ROC curve for each individual classifier has been determined, then formulas for the ROC curve of the fused classifier exist …
Characterization Of The Target-Mount Interaction In Radar Cross Section Measurement Calibrations, Donald W. Powers
Characterization Of The Target-Mount Interaction In Radar Cross Section Measurement Calibrations, Donald W. Powers
Theses and Dissertations
Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurements are quintessential in understanding target scattering phenomenon. The reduced RCS of modern weapons systems stresses the capability of current RCS measurement ranges. A limiting factor that has recently become more significant is the electromagnetic coupling between a test target and the mounting hardware used to support it and control its orientation during the RCS measurement. Equally important is the electromagnetic coupling between the RCS calibration artifact and its mount, which provides an opportunity to explore the coupling phenomena without delving into operationally sensitive areas. The primary research goal was to characterize the interaction between a …
