Estimation of landmine class likelihood by evaluating the degree of matching in ring-CSOM space

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) For metal detectors and ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems, it has been a hard task to visualize antipersonnel plastic landmines and to distinguish them from iron fragments or soil clods. To solve this problem, we previously proposed an adaptive processing based on the complex-valued self-organizing map (CSOM). However, we found that the probability of visualization and distinction reduces when the resolution is low and/or noise level is high in the portable front-end for field application. In this paper, we propose a landmine-class identification method utilizing CSOM-space topology that reflects feature-vector similarity through self-organization. Experiments demonstrate that we can show where the landmine is buried by comparing the signal under test with sample answer signals successfully even on a low-resolution and high-noise condition.
