Multistatic GPR for antipersonnel mine detection

IGARSS 2001. Scanning the Present and Resolving the Future. Proceedings. IEEE 2001 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (Cat. No.01CH37217), 2002
Todays ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems encounter a variety of difficulties when applied to the detection of buried antipersonnel mines, e.g., a high clutter level and strong surface scattering. Angular diversity or "multistatic" data acquisition promises for the cost of additional hard- and processing effort high potential to overcome some of ...

Environment-adaptive Anti-personnel Mine Detection System: Advanced Mine Sweeper

2006 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2006
In this paper, we propose an environment-adaptive antipersonnel mine detection system called Advanced Mine Sweeper. Advanced Mine Sweeper is developed based on sensing technologies, access-control technologies and system integration technologies for safe and effective demining procedure after the Level II survey.

Ground Penetrating Radar For Identifying Mines In A Minefield

2024 International Conference on Power, Energy, Control and Transmission Systems (ICPECTS)
Land mines have been widely used since 1939, with increasing ingenuity going into both their design and their detection. Antipersonnel mines developed into a weapon of particular significance in the numerous guerrilla conflicts in Asia and Africa.

Detection of antipersonnel (AP) mines using mechatronics approach

SPIE Proceedings, 1998
At present there are approximately 110 million land-mines scattered around the world in 64 countries. The clearance of these mines takes place manually. Unfortunately, on average for every 5000 mines cleared one mine clearer is killed. A Mine Detector Arm (MDA) using mechatronics approach is under development in this work. The robot arm imitates manual

Possibilistic Versus Belief Function Fusion for Antipersonnel Mine Detection

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2008
Two approaches for combining humanitarian mine detection sensors are presented-one based on belief functions and the other one based on possibility theory. The approaches are described in parallel. First, different measures are extracted from the sensor data. Mass functions and possibility distributions are then derived from the measures based on prior

Antipersonnel mine detection using acoustic-to-seismic coupling

SPIE Proceedings, 2001
Acoustic-to-seismic (A/S) coupling has been used successfully to locate anti-personnel (AP) mines with a high probability of detection (P d ). This work builds on previous efforts that have demonstrated the high P d and low false alarm rate capabilities of A/S coupling in finding ant-tank (AT) mines.

Antipersonnel Mine Injuries in Somaliland: The Pattern of Injury

Tropical Doctor, 1995
Twenty patients injured by antipesonnel mines are described, with the emphasis on the relationship between the pattern of injuries, type of accident and age of the patients. Particularly severe injuries were seen in patients who travelled in the front seat of cars. Practical advice is given for the treatment.

GPR antipersonnel mine detection: improved deconvolution and time-frequency feature extraction

SPIE Proceedings, 2003
This work deals with the processing of GPR (ground penetrating radar) signals for AP (anti-personnel) mine detection. It focuses on two steps in this processing, namely the deconvolution of the system impulse response, and the extraction of target features for classification.

Fast Prescreening for GPR Antipersonnel Mine Detection via Go Decomposition

IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2019
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has been widely used for antipersonnel mine (APM) detection. However, its efficiency is often impaired by high false alarm rate (FAR) caused by the ground clutters. In this letter, a novel robust principal component analysis (RPCA)-based method is proposed for fast prescreening of APM in GPR image. Taking advantage of low
