Detection and recognition of persons in snowy foliage using active hyperspectral sensing for border control

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference article in proceedingsScientificpeer-review

    Abstract

    We demonstrate the use of an active hyperspectral sensor for detection and recognition of persons in snowy foliage. The sensor employs a tunable broadband supercontinuum light source for remote spectrum measurement. An algorithm based on support vector machines is used in real-time to classify the object, from which the supercontinuum laser pulse scattered. We present results for person detection during simulated illegal border cross activities in snowy terrain.
