Abstract

This paper presents a novel sensor fusion model able to combine data from Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Metal Detectors (MD) in order to classify landmines in a scanned floor area. Currently, no sensor detects landmines directly: a metal detector detects landmines' metal content and a ground penetrating radar detects dielectric discontinuities in the soil, that may be generated by a buried landmine. Fusing the information from different types of such sensors would improve the Probability of Detecting (PoD) landmines and decrease the rate of False Alarms (FAR). The current work describes a Bayesian decision level fusion which was found to decrease the FAR and improve the PoD when compared with data level and feature level fusion approaches. The classifier was tested using different sensors attached to different mobile platforms and after geo-referencing the acquired data, and training the proposed fusion classifier over a large experimental data set containing landmines and other objects, significant improvements both in the PoD and FAR were observed. The presented results are based on data acquired with an IDS GPR array and two Vallon MD arrays, in DOVO military facilities, near Leuven, Belgium, during July 2014.
多平台地雷探测贝叶斯传感器融合
本文提出了一种新的传感器融合模型,该模型能够将探地雷达(GPR)和金属探测器(MD)的数据相结合,以对扫描地板区域内的地雷进行分类。目前,没有传感器直接探测地雷:金属探测器探测地雷的金属含量,探地雷达探测土壤中的介电不连续,这可能是由埋在地下的地雷产生的。融合来自不同类型此类传感器的信息将提高地雷的探测概率(PoD)并降低误报率(FAR)。与数据级和特征级融合方法相比,贝叶斯决策级融合方法降低了FAR,提高了PoD。使用附着在不同移动平台上的不同传感器对分类器进行了测试,在对获取的数据进行地理参考之后,并在包含地雷和其他物体的大型实验数据集上训练所提出的融合分类器,观察到PoD和FAR的显着改进。该结果基于2014年7月在比利时鲁汶附近的DOVO军事设施中使用IDS GPR阵列和两个Vallon MD阵列获得的数据。
