Abstract
A sensor response model based on empirically determined orthogonal response coefficients /spl beta/ is presented for the analysis of electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensor data. The model is applied to high-quality survey data from the multi-sensor towed array detection system (MTADS) program. Data from both a prepared test range and a live-site survey are analyzed. At the test field, the authors show that the model successfully reproduces the measured signatures of ordnance, ordnance simulants, flat plates, and clutter. At the live site, fit statistics were collected showing that for the most abundant ordnance target, 81-mm mortars, the three beta response parameters are distributed log-normally. This allows for a simple method of discrimination. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis based on this discrimination method is performed and the results discussed.
