Description
Pattern Recognition on Bayesian Estimates (PROBE) is a set of software enhancements for the Multi-static Active Coherent System (MAC), which improve clutter screening and reduce operator workload by using state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to improve performance of the Likelihood Ratio Tracker (LRT). PROBE will improve MAC operations by providing superior snippet scores, earlier contact follower creation, and enabling a fully automated search capability. The key innovation is maximizing the utilization of available data through machine learning and using convolutional deep neural networks to interpret four-dimensional data. This superior target discrimination performance enables highly automated wide area search.
