Scientific paper

Wigner-type distributions have shown their effectiveness in classification problems of sonar and radar. We present an overview of applications where resonance features in echoes scattered from targets insonified or illuminated with short pulses are studied in the joint time-frequency domain. We first show the acoustic case of an elastic shell with a few filler materials submerged in water and insonified by the "clicks" dolphins generate when they are echo-locating the targets to classify them. The second example deals with a ground-penetrating radar used to identify buried land mines. We have compared the performance of various time-frequency distributions as well as a technique to combine these with a "fuzzy-cluster" representation of the subsurface target signatures.
