ARL'S Acoustic Database

Abstract

The Acoustic Signal Processing Branch of Army Research Laboratory (ARL) has collected a significant amount of acoustic data over the past eight years. Acoustic data consists of the time-series signature of battlefield ground and air targets collected from a number of sensor arrays placed within detection range of the targets travelling path. To cope with the growing data collected over the last few years a multi-user client/server acoustic database has been developed. This database is an integral component of the ongoing Acoustic Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) effort. Data is currently centralized on the server and can simultaneously be accessed from client PCs over the ARL's Local Area Network via a custom-written user interface front-end program ATRView. This front-end program features data entry and data query capabilities as well as a suite of graphic tools to provide the user quick and easy means to select a portion of data of interest for viewing and downloading from the server to the client PC. The front-end programs main features are discussed in this report. Future plans include the capability for client PCs to access this database from locations outside ARL and the seamless integration of existing target detection tracking and identification algorithms into the front-end program.
