"During the 2003-present Iraq war, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) are being used extensively by the terrorists against the coalition forces and these IEDs were responsible for 40% of coalition force casualties, by the end of 2007. As these IEDs are not based on standard production formulae, their tracking and detection becomes extremely complicated. Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and Raman Spectroscopy are among the many techniques that have shown promise in detection of explosive compounds. However, the performance of these systems is dependent on the concentration of explosives and ambient noise.
The research presented in this thesis applies signal processing …
