The problem of identification of objects under ground surface is solved by the application of irradiation of the surface by short impulse electromagnetic waves and the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) for the analysis of reflected field characteristics. As input data for ANN the normalized amplitudes of electrical component of the field in determined points of observation in equidistant moments of time are used. As an example of the object for the identification, the metal tube under surface of a ground is considered. The plane electromagnetic wave having Gaussian time dependence is used as an incident field. The influence of a number of hidden layers of ANN on precision of the recognition is investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
