Feasibility study for IED detection using forward-looking ground penetrating radar integrated with target features classification

In this paper, we examined the natural resonance frequency and polarization features of UXO-Like IED target in forward-looking GPR configuration. Based on the simulation results, we confirm that these feature not only exist but also measurable in the case of FLGPR. It is therefore, strongly suggested that these features be included in the target classification algorithms as they are expected to improve detection, increase stand off distance and minimize false alarm rate.
