Methods for visualizing the explosive remnants of war
This study aimed to answer the question how GIS can help decision makers visualize the problem of contamination by explosive remnants of war (ERW). We thus explored a set of six cartographic visualization methods and systematically evaluated their usefulness with respect to four categories of stakeholders in the humanitarian demining process (i.e., database administrators, operations officers, ...
متن کاملDevelopments on an Affordable Robotic System for Humanitarian Demining
Humanitarian demining is a multi-faceted and broad domain. Occasionally, specific economic interests in specific areas of landmine infested countries may foster an avalanche of investments for massive demining. However, the great majority of the territory is left out of these demining activities, meaning that the problem is prolonged for decades. Affected countries, usually developing ones, lac...
متن کاملSimplified Toolbar to Accelerate Repeated Tasks (START) for ArcGIS: Optimizing Workflows in Humanitarian Demining
This paper presents START (Simplified Toolbar to Accelerate Repeated Tasks), a new, freely downloadable ArcGIS extension designed for non-expert GIS users. START was developed jointly by the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) and the University of Geneva to support frequent workflows relating to mine action. START brings together a series of basic ArcGIS tools in one ...
متن کاملMetal Detectors in Civil Engineering and Humanitarian Demining: Overview and Tests of a Commercial Visualizing System
After a brief introduction to Humanitarian Demining we will review the basic principles of the electromagnetic detection of metallic objects, especially induction devices (“metal detectors”), and see how they are applied in Humanitarian Demining and Civil Engineering, with emphasis on visualization techniques. We will then report on tests of a commercial “imaging metal detector” aimed at trying...
متن کاملGeomatic Engineering in Humanitarian Demining
One of the most notable problem with the strongest impact on the civilian population during the war and specially after the war is the landmine problem. This paper describes Mine Information System (MIS) for Humanitarian Demining with the all necessary data and the way of bringing it together. Before the MIS implemented a lot of preparatory works has been done: marking of photogrammetric contro...
