Abstract :
Authors have studied a radar system with two dimensional array antennas to find survivors accidentally buried in rubble from the top under noisy environment. This paper concentrates on the two issues to improve the survivor-detection abilities. One is a method for the measurement of three dimensional location of each antennas by using ARToolkit. The other is a method for the reduction of impulsive noise in the received signals. Experimental results showed the feasibility of those methods.
