Distributed Detection and Imaging for Long-Range Targeting
Abstract
Project Abstract:DISTRIBUTED DETECTION AND IMAGING FOR LONG-RANGE TARGETINGMARGARET CHENEY AND LOUIS SCHARFThis is a 6.1+ research effort that addresses the signal fusion problem by providing a solid statistical foundation for combining information from disparate distributed sensors, to yield both detection and localization (targeting) solutions. In particular, this addresses the gap between research on imaging and research on detection. We address sensors of different properties and different modalities, coherent and non-coherent cases, and both active and passive sensors. We address cases when various key factors (such as sensor noise levels, clock synchronization, calibration, and propagation environment) are unknown. This work is expected to provide improved detection and localization, especially for weak targets. Approved for Public Release
