  • Patent number: 9625611
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for detecting, recognizing, and positioning a zonal underground target in a mountain land environment by detecting a ridge position in the mountain land environment and carrying out energy correction. The method belongs to the interdisciplinary field of pattern recognition, remote sensing technology and terrain analysis. The zonal underground target can cause energy abnormity when the heat field thereof is different from that of a mountain mass, and the heat island effect of the ridge can also cause the energy of the mountain mass to be abnormal. However, the energy abnormity caused by the heat island effect is essentially different from the energy abnormity caused by the zonal underground target in the aspect of mode.
