i.e., the distribution is divided into five classes with the same widths. The image of<br />
confidence ratings is shown in Fig. 3.19. The two landmine models successfully are<br />
rated as 100 % confidence, and the stone is as 50 %. The stone has a curved surface,<br />
thus the back scattering might not be as strong as <strong>for</strong> the landmine models and it<br />
does not have the tail of the reflection. It might cause a low confidence rating. From<br />
the result, the survey may output three or four false alarms in the left side of the area.<br />
It can be reduced by defining the more appropriate thresholds with stochastic<br />
analyses.<br />
Experimental results of an evaluation test <strong>for</strong> the system are summarized in<br />
