This paper is devoted to the application of object localization and identification with information combined from a radar system and a dedicated portable/mobile electronic device equipped with a global positioning system (GPS) receiver. This device is able to provide object's (staff member, and staff vehicle) rough location and identification. Such systems are required in very restrictive security areas like airports (e.g., open-air area and apron). Currently, the outdoor area of the airport is typically protected by a surveillance system operated by security guards. Surveillance systems are composed of different sensors, video and infrared cameras, and microwave radars. The sheer number of events generated via the system can lead to fatigue among staff, potentially resulting in the omission of critical events. To address this issue, we propose an electronic system equipped with a wireless module and a GPS module. This approach enables automatic identification of objects through the fusion of data from two independent systems (GPS and radar). The radar system is capable of precisely localizing and tracking objects, while the described system is able to identify registered objects. This paper contains a description of the subsystems of a portable/mobile electronic device. The fusion of information from the proposed system (rough location and identification) with the precise location obtained from short-range radar is intended to reduce the number of false alerts in the surveillance system.
本文致力于将雷达系统与配备全球定位系统（GPS）接收器的专用便携式/移动电子设备相结合的信息用于目标定位与识别。该设备能够提供目标（工作人员和工作车辆）的大致位置和识别信息。在机场等限制极为严格的安全区域（如露天区域和停机坪）需要此类系统。目前，机场的室外区域通常由保安人员操作的监控系统进行保护。监控系统由不同的传感器、视频和红外摄像机以及微波雷达组成。通过该系统产生的大量事件可能导致工作人员疲劳，从而可能遗漏关键事件。为解决此问题，我们提出一种配备无线模块和GPS模块的电子系统。这种方法能够通过融合来自两个独立系统（GPS和雷达）的数据自动识别目标。雷达系统能够精确地定位和跟踪目标，而所述系统能够识别已注册的目标。本文介绍了便携式/移动电子设备的子系统。将所提出系统的信息（大致位置和识别信息）与从短程雷达获得的精确位置相融合，旨在减少监控系统中的误报数量。
