Abstract

The most difficult part of the radiation localization is that we cannot use the traditional acoustic localization method to determine where the radiation source is. It’s mainly because the electromagnetic waves are totally different with the sound wave. From the expression of the radioactive intensity, we can tell that the intensity of radiation not only depend on the distance from the radiation but also related to the type of the nuclide. In general, the relationship between the intensity and the distance satisfy the inverse-square law, which is a non-linear relationship. In other words, if we can use the measurement and dynamic parameters of the moving sensor to train a neural network. The trained network can predict the location and the intensity of the source based on any movement of the sensor.

Radiation Source Localization by using Backpropagation Neural Network
