A Mathematical Model for Calculating Detection Probability of a Diffusion Target.

Abstract

The primary objective of this thesis is to derive a mathematical model to predict the detection probability of a target which moves randomly, according to a two-dimensional diffusion model. This model assumes that there is a stationary searcher which has a cookie cutter sensor with radius R. In order to construct this model, a Monte Carlo simulation program is used to generate detection probabilities. It is demonstrated that this model can be used asymptotically to predict an upper bound detection probability of an equivalent random tour target. Additional keywords: DIFSIM(diffusion simulation model); Fortran; Computerized simulation; DIFSIM computer program; variables. (Author)
