Classification and Location of Ground Vehicles using Networked Microsensors

Abstract

This paper investigates the localization and classification of ground vehicles using a field of microsensor systems employing acoustic, seismic, and magnetic sensors at each node location. Specific results will focus on the ability of individual nodes to detect ground vehicle targets of varying types and provide information on those vehicles. We also discuss the fusion of information from multiple nodes to further enhance target information over time.
