Tensor Invariant Processing of Multistatic EMI Data for Target Classification

Abstract

The objective of this project is to test and evaluate procedures for target classification in the context of the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) Classification Pilot Program Live Site Demonstrations. The procedures were developed in Strategic Environmental Research and Development (SERDP) projects MR-1658 and MR-2100 [i, ii]. Classification decisions are based on two parameters easily calculated from magnetic polarizabilities of unknown targets and targets of interest. The parameters are measures of the mismatch between the strength and the shape of the respective polarizability curves.
