Abstract:

Radio Tomographic Imaging RTI and noise radar are two proven surveillance technologies. The novelty of fusing data from RTI and noise radar is achieved with the derivation of a fusion technique utilizing Tikhonov regularization. Analyzing the results of the Tikhonov influenced techniques reveals up to a 100 error decrease in target pixel location, a 75 error decrease in target centroid location, a 28 size decrease in target pixel dispersion and a 72 improvement in an ideal solution comparison. Results provide the RTI and noise radar communities a proof of concept for the fusion of data from two disparate sensor technologies.
