Title:
ARCHITECTURES OF SENSOR NETWORKS FOR BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004023414
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A sensor network provides the ability to detect, classify and identify a diverse range of agents over a large area, such as a geographical region or building. The network possesses speed of detection, sensitivity, and specificity for the diverse range of agents. Different functional level types of sensors are employed in the network to perform early warning, broadband detection and highly specific and sensitive detection. A high probability of detection with low probability of false alarm is provided by the processing of information provided from multiple sensors. A Bayesian net is utilized to combine probabilities from the multiple sensors in the network to reach a decision regarding the presence or absence of a threat. The network is field portable and capable of autonomous operation. It also is capable of providing automated output decisions.
