Abstract

This research investigates the classification of battlespace detonations, specifically the determination of munitions type and size using image features from an infrared wavelength camera. Experimental data are collected for the detonation of several types of conventional munitions with different high explosive materials and different weights. Key features are identified for discriminating various types and sizes of detonation flashes. These features include statistical parameters derived from the time dependence of fireball size. Using Fisher linear discriminant techniques, these features are projected onto a line such that the projected points are maximally clustered for different classes of detonations. Bayesian decision boundaries for classification are then determined.
