SERDP SEED Project UX-1284: Application of Wavelets for Detection and Discrimination of UXO

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of the SERDP SEED Project UX-1284, Application of Wavelets for Detection and Discrimination of UXO. This project addressed the Statement of Need (SON) for SERDP's SEEDSON-02-04, which calls for improved signal processing and or sensors to aid in discrimination of clutter from ordnance in contaminated areas where overlapping signatures are common. We investigated the effectiveness of signal processing techniques based on wavelets (1) to improve the signal to noise ratio and extract additional information from the signals and (2) as part of a probability-based approach for discriminating between ordnance and clutter.
