Passive Standoff Detection of Bacillus Subtilis Aerosol by Fourier-Transform Infrared Radiometry
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An analysis is presented on the passive standoff detection and identification of Bacillus subtilis (BG) clouds with the Compact ATmospheric Sounding Interferometer (CATSI) sensor. This research is based on recent spectral measurements obtained during the Technology Readiness Evaluation trial held July 2002 at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah. Results obtained from three trial BG cloud episodes are used to explain and demonstrate the detection capability of the CATSI sensor. The BG clouds were measured at a distance of 3 km from the sensor in a near-horizontal path scenario. It was found that the low thermal contrast of approximately 0.2 K between the BG cloud and the background yielded weak but observable spectral signatures. The processing of the spectral signatures with the GASeous Emission Monitoring (GASEM) algorithm has provided a rough estimate of BG cloud column densities. The results of a series of simulations with the FASCOD3 transmission model have shown that the detection sensitivity for BG can be greatly improved for both slant path uplooking and downlooking scenarios.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
