Various mine detection techniques are reviewed with particular emphasis on signal and
image processing methods. Based on the target, mines are classified into two types; anti …

Several promising (new) technologies for the detection of mines are in development, each
with its strengths and weaknesses. We would like here to stress some of the basics and …

The Improved Landmine Detector Project (ILDP) was initiated in Autumn 1994 to develop a
prototype teleoperated vehicle mounted mine detector for low metal content and nonmetallic …

3D thermal and radiometric models have been developed to study the passive IR signature
of a land mine buried under a rough soil surface. A finite element model is used to describe …

Airborne hyperspectral imaging has been studied since the late 1980s as a tool to detect
minefields for military countermine operations and for level I clearance for humanitarian …

DRDC Suffeld and Itres Research have collaborated to investigate the use of hyperspectral
imaging (HSI) for surface and buried landmine detection since 1989. Visible/near infrared …

The main disadvantage of applying IR thermal images for detection of buried mines, is the
present of various false indications in thermograms together with strong influence of the …

The system developed under the Improved Landmine Detector Project is a teleoperated,
multi-sensor, vehicle-mounted mine detector for low metal content and non-metallic mines to …

This paper reports a numerical and experimental investigation conducted to study the
thermal signature of buried landmines on soil surface. A finite-volume-based numerical …

This chapter introduces the application of infrared (IR) thermography in land mine detection.
IR thermography in general and for remotely detecting buried land mines in particular …
