Detection of Landmines, especially anti-tank mines, bombs, and unexploded substances, is
one of the major challenges facing humanity. The devastation and human tragedy …

As described by Zadeh, recognition technology refers to systems that incorporate new
sensors, novel signal processing, and soft computing. In this paper, we discuss these …

Random surface roughness and surface distortions occur inevitably because of various
material processing and fabrication techniques. Tailoring and smoothing the surface …

This paper deals with an inverse problem arising in infrared (IR) thermography for buried
landmine detection. It is aimed at using a thermal model and measured IR images to detect …

Millions of buried and surface landmines throughout the world will continue to kill and injure
people for many decades. Reliable landmine detection systems, especially those that do not …

Ground penetrating radar and thermal sensors hold much promise for the detection of non-
metallic land mines. In previous work we have shown that the performance of ground …

Most sensors for the detection of buried landmines are influenced by the properties of the
soil that surrounds the mine. The temporal and spatial variability in soil properties accounts …

Thermal imaging based mine detection technique is widely adopted due it suitability of
detecting buried metallic and also non-metallic land mines in battle fields. Accurate mine …

The detection of a buried surrogate land mine is investigated by use of a pulsed
thermographic method driven by a high powered infrared heater. In this experimental and …

Thermal sensors hold much promise for the detection of non-metallic landmines. However,
the prediction of their thermal signatures depends on a large number of factors. In this paper …
