A proof-of-concept, active near-IR sensor coupled with a classification algorithm that uses
the Mahalanobis distance has been shown to be a feasible approach for discriminating …

According to the output signal characteristics of the profile detecting system, special object
recognition method based on sparse representation, combined with the theory of sparse …

Abstract The Center for Advanced Sensors at the University of Memphis is leading the
design, testing, and evaluation of novel, unattended ground sensors for the monitoring of …

This paper describes the development of linear pyroelectric array systems for classification
of human, animal, and vehicle targets. The pyroelectric array is simulated to produce binary …

Multiple sensors with multiple modalities are being routinely deployed in forward areas to
gain the situational awareness. Some of the sensors are activity detection sensors such as …

Pyroelectric linear arrays can be used to generate profiles of targets. Simulations have
shown that generated profiles can be used to classify human and animal targets. A …

Profiling sensor systems have been shown to be effective for detecting and classifying
humans against animals. A profiling sensor with a 360 horizontal field of view was used to …

The lack of knowledge models to represent sensor systems, algorithms, and missions makes
opportunistically discovering a synthesis of systems and algorithms that can satisfy high …

This paper presents object profile classification results using range and speed independent
features from an infrared profiling sensor. The passive infrared profiling sensor was …

Border and perimeter sensing is key to addressing concerns about national security and
criminal activity. In addition, due to the vastness of national borders and the human …
