Popis: This paper describes the application of a 2-dimensional (2-D) lattice LMS algorithm for anomaly detection using the Wichmann/Niitek ground penetrating radar (GPR) system. Sets of 3-dimensional (3-D) data are collected from the GPR system and these are processed in separate 2-D slices. Those 2-D slices that are spatially correlated in depth are combined into separate “depth segments” and these are processed independently. When target/no target declarations need to be made, the individual depth segments are combined to yield a 2-D confidence map. The 2-D confidence map is then thresholded and alarms are placed at the centroids of the remaining 8-connected data points. Calibration lane results are presented for data collected over several soil types under several weather conditions. Results show a false alarm rate improvement of at least an order of magnitude over other GPR systems, as well as significant improvement over other adaptive algorithms operating on the same data.
