연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A land-based Smart-Sensor System and several system architectures for detection, tracking, and classification of people and vehicles automatically and in real time for border, property, and facility security surveillance is described. The preferred embodiment of the proposed Smart-Sensor System is comprised of (1) a low-cost, non-coherent radar, whose function is to detect and track people, singly or in groups, and various means of transportation, which may include vehicles, animals, or aircraft, singly or in groups, and cue (2) an optical sensor such as a long-wave infrared (LWIR) sensor, whose function is to classify the identified targets and produce movie clips for operator validation and use, and (3) an IBM CELL supercomputer to process the collected data in real-time. The Smart Sensor System can be implemented in a tower-based or a mobile-based or combination system architecture. The radar can also be operated as a stand-alone system.

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, which when executed by at least one processor, configure the processor to perform operations comprising: transmitting a plurality of radar pulses by a non-coherent radar toward an area;receiving a radar return scattered from the area, the radar return including a return from a target and interference from system noise and background noise and clutter; andprocessing the radar return for at least one range-azimuth resolution cell in the area to differentiate the return from the target from the interference from the system noise and background noise and clutter, the processing including: comparing the radar return to a first threshold, the first threshold set at a level to identify multiple radar contacts including the target and false contacts from the interference from system noise and background noise and clutter, wherein a radar contact is declared when the radar return exceeds the first threshold; andtracking the multiple radar contacts over time to distinguish the target from the false contacts. 2. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein said processing the return includes applying an algorithm that determines whether a track derived from the radar return for at least two time intervals is consistent with an expected track for an actual target. 3. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 2, wherein said track is determined by a level of confidence of a probability statistic applied to said radar return. 4. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 3, wherein said probability statistic is defined by a log-likelihood ratio with the assumption that said system noise and clutter within each one of said at least one resolution cell is substantially constant over a period of time, and wherein target-absent statistics over multiple radar scans is determined and used in the determination of the log-likelihood ratio. 5. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 3, wherein said probability statistic is based on Bayesian statistical methods. 6. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein said receiving includes collecting and processing at least two samples of said radar returns from said at least one range-azimuth resolution cell. 7. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1, wherein said processing said radar return includes pre-processing data from said radar return to generate a detection field before said return is differentiated. 8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7, wherein said detection field is generated after conditioning operations are performed on said return, wherein said conditioning operations include an operation selected from the group consisting of calibration, spatial registration, pre-filtering, constant background removal, and noise background estimation. 9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein said spatial registration includes aligning resolution cells for direct comparison from one scan to the next scan. 10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7, wherein said detection field is generated by segmentation of said data. 11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7, wherein said pre-processing includes separating resolution cells into different categories for processing based on the type of noise and clutter present in said resolution cells. 12. A system comprising: at least one processor;a memory with instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the at least one processor, configure the at least one process to perform operations comprising:receiving a radar return resulting from a non-coherent radar transmitting a plurality of radar pulses towards an area, the radar return scattered from the area and the radar return including a return from a target and interference from system noise and background noise and clutter; andprocessing the radar return for at least one range-azimuth resolution cell in the area of interest to differentiate the return from the target from the interference from the system noise and background noise and clutter, the processing including: comparing the radar return to a first threshold, the first threshold set at a level to identify multiple radar contacts including the target and false contacts from the interference from system noise and background noise and clutter, wherein a radar contact is declared when the radar return exceeds the first threshold; andtracking the multiple radar contacts over time to distinguish the target from the false contacts. 13. The system claim 12, wherein said processing the return includes applying an algorithm that determines whether a track derived from the radar return for at least two time intervals is consistent with an expected track for an actual target. 14. The system 13, wherein said track is determined by a level of confidence of a probability statistic applied to said radar return. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein said probability statistic is defined by a log-likelihood ratio with the assumption that said system noise and clutter within each one of said at least one resolution cell is substantially constant over a period of time, and wherein target-absent statistics over multiple radar scans is determined and used in the determination of the log-likelihood ratio. 16. The system of claim 14, wherein said probability statistic is based on Bayesian statistical methods. 17. The system of claim 12, wherein the operation of processing the radar return includes an operation of pre-processing data from the radar return to generate a detection field before the return is differentiated. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein the operation of pre-processing includes separating resolution cells into different categories for processing based on the type of noise and clutter present in said resolution cells. 19. The system of claim 17, wherein said detection field is generated by segmentation of the data. 20. The system of claim 12, wherein a second threshold is used to differentiate false contacts due to the noise and clutter from actual targets, the second threshold being based on a track-before-detect method.
