DETECTION OF HUMANS IN CONCEALED PREPARED POSITIONS
Abstract
This study concerned itself with a review of the diverse attributes of man yielding signals, the signal modifications in environment, and various sensing concepts in examining the capabilities of biosensing techniques for the detection of humans in concealed positions. In considering human signal sources and attributes, emphasis was placed on assembly of a catalog of chemical substances excreted through all body portals; for comparative analysis, other human physical attributes and signals were set down (emission, reflection, proximity properties), resulting in an inventory of most of the major signals produced by man. Environmental modification of chemical signals from man, by substances from plants and animals, weather effects, etc; was augmented also by comparative data on effects of environment on physical signal transmission. Comparative data on chemical and physical sensing of chemical substances and physical phenomena are presented.
