Abstract

In humanitarian demining, it is of primary importance to ensure personnel safety while minimizing search and detection times [1]. Furthermore, traditional detection techniques based on electromagnetic induction are primarily manual and thus are not easily adapted to an automated detection system. In this article, we show a specially-designed UWB-GPR radar and a dedicated algorithm able to analyze radar data and automatically detect the position of landmines buried in soil at shallow depth [2]. We compare the automated detection capability to that of experienced humans visually analyzing radar data.
