An Analysis of Data Fusion For Radiation Detection and Localization

Submitted to the FUSION 2010, 13th International Conference on Information Fusion, 26-29 July 2010 EICC Edinburgh, UK

This paper explores fundamental relations between critical parameters of distributed sensor networks (DSN) that detect and locate radiation sources. The paper presents mathematical analyses and Monte
Carlo methods that help understand fundamental trade-offs between the time to detect radiation sources, the probabilities of false positives and negatives, system cost, numbers of sensors, locations of sensors, mixes of sensors of different capabilities, benefits of data fusion, and communication load.

Models and Algorithm for Radiation Detection

Accepted for presentation at “DHS-S&T: Workshop on Grand Challenges in Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis for Homeland Security (MSAHS-2010)”, March 2010

Abstract: The objective of this work is to develop systems,  models and algorithms that help distinguish signatures of dangerous radiation material from background and normal (e.g.,  medical) sources of radiation. The challenge is to do so rapidly and with an extremely low probability of false alarms. Radiological detection architectures will be deployed in a variety of settings such as monitoring political rallies and Coast Guard maritime boarding parties. This paper presents models and algorithms by which sensor networks and mobile agents collaborate to detect dangerous radiation sources. Extensive simulations using the algorithms have been carried out and some results are presented  here. The paper explores ways in which the models can be extended from radiation detection to detecting other types of  threats such as chemical threats.

Abstract:
Over the next few years there are two boundary conditions that should constrain computer systems architecture: commodity components and applications performance. Yet, these two seem strangely disconnected. Perhaps we need some human optimization, as opposed to repeated use of Moore’s Law. Our panelists have been given a set of standard components that are on announced vendor roadmaps. They also each get to make one mystery component of no more complexity than a commercially available FPGA. The applications are HPL for linear algebra, Map-Reduce for databases, and a sequence matching algorithm for biology. The panelists have 10 minutes to disclose their systems architecture and mystery component, and estimate performance for the three applications at 1MW of power.
