Abstract
Identifying and localizing targets within buildings using exterior sensors will offer superior advantages to the military and law enforcement communities. Research on wall-penetrating radar has produced significant advances in recent years regarding this topic. However, wall parameter ambiguities, multiple reflections, clutter, and measurement noise pose significant challenges to developing robust detection and estimation methods. In the present work we demonstrate can be mitigated using dynamic logic (DL), an adaptive method for iterative maximum likelihood.
