Robust classification of objects using a sparse detector sensor

Abstract

This paper emphasizes techniques for broad-scale classification of objects sensed by a prototype unattended ground sparse detector sensor. A wide range of machine learning techniques were applied to create models of three broad classes of objects, such as humans, humans wearing large backpacks, and non-humans using data obtained from the sparse detector sensor in a laboratory environment. Fusion of models was performed based on a measure of diversity among classifiers to improve the robustness and also the accuracy of the models. Empirical analysis on 230 sample datasets shows up to a 91.74% accuracy (10-fold cross validation) in classifying three broad classes of objects of interest and shows very promising scores on other various performance indices.
