This SBIR Phase II project will develop a through material imaging system that will locatehuman targets through opaque media. The technology will also provide wide area subsurface sensing for ground probing applications. The phase I results demonstrated that the system has the capability of detecting human targets on the opposite of building walls and through walls of granite over 10m thick. The thrust of the phase II research lies in software development to classify targets in the downrange profile, track targets, and count targets; and hardware development to eliminate the need for an external off the shelf receiver. The latter effort will also require software development to process data for the classification algorithms. The unique innovation of this project is that it can conduct full area investigations and locate stationary targets from a fixed location. There are two primary applications for this technology, situational awareness and subsurface investigation. The former, which is the most attractive for early market entry, comprises homeland security, police/fire/search and rescue, and military actions where the location of human subjects on the opposite side of walls, vegetation, snow, fire, or other opaque media is sought. The latter includes geophysical exploration, ore body investigation, utility detection and location, road-bed and bridge subsurface scansfor cracks and voids, and unattended ground sensing from a fixed point to assess subsurface changes that can be used to predict earth or structural failure.

这个SBIR II期项目将开发通过材料成像系统，该系统将通过不透明的介质找到目标。该技术还将为地面探测应用提供广泛的地下感测。 I阶段的结果表明，该系统具有在建筑物壁对面以及通过花岗岩壁上的壁上检测人类目标的能力。第二阶段研究的推力在于软件开发以对下范围，跟踪目标和计数目标中的目标进行分类；和硬件开发，以消除对货架接收器外部的需求。后者的工作还将需要软件开发来处理分类算法的数据。该项目的独特创新是，它可以进行全面的区域调查并从固定位置找到固定目标。 该技术，情境意识和地下调查有两个主要应用。对于早期市场的最吸引力，前者包括国土安全，警察/消防/搜救以及军事行动，在墙壁，植被，雪，雪，火或其他不透明的媒体的对面，人类受试者的位置。后者包括地球物理探索，矿石体研究，公用事业检测和位置，路床和桥梁地下扫描裂缝和空隙，以及从固定点开始无人值守的地面传感，以评估可用于预测地球或结构性故障的地下变化。
