Controlled Metal Detector Mounted on Mine Detection Robot

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2008
Landmine detection capability of metal detectors is very sensitive to the gap between buried landmines and the sensor heads. Therefore, human deminers manually scan ground surface with the metal detectors in such a manner that the sensor heads follow the

Modeling and Simulation of Very High Spatial Resolution UXOs and Landmines in a Hyperspectral Scene for UAV Survey

Remote Sensing, 2021
This paper presents methods for the modeling and simulation of explosive target placement in terrain spectral images (i.e., real hyperspectral 90-channel VNIR data), considering unexploded ordnances, landmines, and improvised explosive devices.

Critical Review for One‐Class Classification: Recent Advances and Reality Behind Them

WIREs Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, Volume 16, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review presents a new taxonomy to summarize one‐class classification (OCC) algorithms and their applications. The main argument is that OCC should not learn multiple classes. The paper highlights common violations of OCC involving multiple classes.

When ‘Yes’ Means No: Understanding Infiltration as Refusal of Cultural Heritage Research in Palestine

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper reconceptualises Palestinian infiltration—historically associated with clandestine border‐crossing after the 1948 Nakba—as a contemporary mode of research refusal within heritage research conducted under settler‐colonial conditions. Bringing scholarship on Palestinian infiltration into dialogue with literature on refusal, it argues ...

Optimizing land mine detection across diverse mining environments: A hyperspectral data approach with regression models

International Journal of Intelligent Networks
The detection of landmines, namely anti-tank mines, explosive devices, and unexploded ordnance, is a formidable obstacle for the global community. The visible consequences of unobserved explosives in communities affected by war are characterized by ...

How Far Are Two Symmetric Matrices From Commuting? With an Application to Object Characterisation and Identification in Metal Detection

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 1914-1942, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Examining the extent to which measurements of rotation matrices are close to each other is challenging due measurement noise. To overcome this, data is typically smoothed, and the Riemannian and Euclidean metrics are applied. However, if rotation matrices are not directly measured and are instead formed by eigenvectors of measured symmetric ...

Brokering Peace: Emerging Middle Powers, Agency and Mediation

Global Policy, Volume 17, Issue S1, Page S33-S44, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines the role of mediation in emerging middle power conduct in an increasingly fragmented world. It asks why and how emerging middle powers seek mediator roles in international conflicts, focusing on Turkey and Indonesia's responses to the Russia–Ukraine war.

GPR Signal Processing with Geography Adaptive Scanning using Vector Radar for Antipersonal Landmine Detection

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2007
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a promising sensor for landmine detection, however there are two major problems to overcome. One is the rough ground surface. The other problem is the distance between the antennas of GPR. It remains irremovable clutters

Re‐Imagining Middle Powers in an Age of Global Transformation

Global Policy, Volume 17, Issue S1, Page S5-S13, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The post–1945 international order is in flux. Trump's return to the White House in 2025 marks a critical juncture, reinforcing a structural transformation characterised by intensifying US–China rivalry, the weaponisation of economic statecraft and the fragmentation of multilateralism.
