Mine Discrimination Using Multispectral Imagery With Feedforward Neural Networks

Abstract

Simulated mine detection was performed on a polarimetric hyperspectral imaging dataset collected by using an acousto-optic tunable filter camera. A feedforward artificial neural network was programmed to recognize predefined spectral "templates." The simulation results are provided along with the preprocessing steps and window sizes leading to mine detection without false alarms.

An Integrated Multiangle, Multispectral, and Polarimetric Imaging Concept for Aerosol Remote Sensing from Space

Techniques for passive remote sensing of aerosol optical and microphysical properties from space include visible, near and shortwave-infrared imaging (e.g., from MODIS), multiangle intensity imaging (e.g., ATSR-2, AATSR, MISR), near-ultraviolet mapping (e.g., TOMSIOMI), and polarimetry (e.g., POLDER, APS). Each of these methods has unique strengths. In this paper, we present a concept for integrating these approaches into a unified sensor. Design goals include spectral coverage from the near-UV to the shortwave infrared; intensity and polarimetric imaging simultaneously at multiple view angles; global coverage within a few days; kilometer to sub-kilometer spatial resolution; and measurement of the degree of linear polarization (DOLP) for a subset of the spectral complement with an uncertainty of 0.5% or less.
