ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK BASED DISCRIMINATION OF MINELIKE OBJECTS IN INFRARED IMAGES
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
An artificial neural network (ANN) model with a simple architecture containing a single hidden layer is presented to discriminate the landmine objects from the acquired infrared images. The proposed method consists of preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and ANN based classification. Texture features based on gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) are considered as inputs to the neural network classifier. The proposed method is tested on the infrared images acquired from two different soil types namely black cotton soil and Maharashtra sand. The ability of the back propagation neural network in discriminating the landmines from the clutters in the infrared images acquired from inhomogeneous soil is discussed. The results of the field experiments carried out at the outdoor land mine detection test facility, DRDO, Pune are presented. The results are encouraging.
