Landmine Feature Extraction and Classification of GPR Data Based on SVM Method

In this paper, the problem of detecting buried landmine is tackled in the feature extraction and classification. Determining the likelihood set of an unknown pattern (feature vector), extracted from ground penetrating radar data by using SVM method. The advantage of SVM method in feature extraction and classification of image processing is: A classifier works well both on the training samples and on previously unseen samples; In addition, the SVM provides, enable a classification performance improvement based on from high feature dimensions to two or three feature dimensions. Finally, SVM method has a standard theory and a good implementation algorithm.
