Abstract :
The development of remote surface recognition systems is an important step in ensuring road safety. This paper examines the performance of surface classification algorithms, used for the analysis of backscattered microwave and ultrasonic signals. The novelty of our research is the joint use of data obtained from sonar and multifrequency polarimetric radar. The results demonstrate the feasibility of reliable surface classification using the proposed methodology.
