Landmine Detection Using Radar
نویسنده
چکیده
Landmines are affecting the lives and livelihood of millions of people around the world. The video impulse ground penetrating radar system for detection for small and shallow buried objects has been developed. The hardware combines commercially available components with components specially developed or modified for being used in the system. The GPR system has been desired to measure accurately electromagnetic field backscattered from subsurface targets in order to allow identification of detected targets through the solution of the inverse scattering problem. The GPR has been tested in different environmental conditions and has proved its ability to detect small and shallow

متن کاملAutomatic Multiple Landmine Detection Using Gpr
The land mine crisis is all over frightening since there are presently 500 million unexploded, buried mines in about 70 countries. Governments are noticing this situation seriously since land mines are claiming the limbs and lives of civilians’ very day. A multiple of landmine extraction from the data which are obtained from the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). Traditional algorithms targets on ...
متن کاملMulti-Feature Based Multiple Landmine Detection Using Ground Penetration Radar
This paper presents a novel method for detection of multiple landmines using a ground penetrating radar (GPR). Conventional algorithms mainly focus on detection of a single landmine, which cannot linearly extend to the multiple landmine case. The proposed algorithm is composed of four steps; estimation of the number of multiple objects buried in the ground, isolation of each object, feature ext...
متن کاملApplication of Advanced Background Subtraction Techniques for the Detection of Buried Plastic Landmines
Landmine problem is enormous and worldwide. Impulse ground penetrating radar (ImGPR) is one of the technologies that have been extensively researched as a means of improving landmine detection efficiency. We propose two methods to detect buried landmines. Both methods are based on background subtraction techniques to detect buried plastic landmines. The first method uses adaptive background est...
متن کاملProgress in the Research of Ground Bounce Removal for Landmine Detection with Ground Penetrating Radar
Downward looking ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been considered a viable technology for landmine detection. For such a GPR with the antennas positioned very close to the ground surface, the reflections from the ground surface, i.e., the ground bounce, are very strong and can completely dominate the weak returns from shallowly buried plastic mines. Hence, one of the key challenges of using G...
متن کاملPrognosis of the Effects of Soil Characteristics on the Performance of Landmine Detection in Ground-Penetrating Radar System - A Case Study
The landmines presence causes serious safety hazards, which demand the clean up of contaminated land. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is considered as a powerful nondestructive testing tool for high-resolution imaging of the shallow subsurface and its ability to detect both metallic and non-metallic landmines. The contrast in the dielectric constant between a landmine and the surrounding soil is...
