Usefulness of semi-automatic tools for airborne minefield detection
نویسنده
چکیده
Potentialities of airborne minefield detection are nowadays investigated. Such approaches are based on the detection of minefield indicators on mono or multi-sensor airborne images. Most of the indicators will have to be located in vast area using high-resolution imagery. This leads to a tremendous amount of data to be interpreted. Hence semi-automatic detection techniques must be used to pre-filter the input information flux or the user will be flooded by the incoming data. In this paper, we illustrate and evaluate such a semi-automatic technique for the detection of un-obscured anti-tank mines. The potentiality of semi-automatic tools for the detection of other mine indicators is also discussed.

Image Processing Tools for Semi-automatic Minefield Detection
Airborne surveys have proved to be a very promising way to detect the boundaries of minefields, a requisite to any mine clearance procedure. Human photo-interpreters are, to date, unchallenged in the analysis of these images. Unfortunately in order to survey all suspected areas of a country and have the resolution needed to detect relevant minefield indicators, a tremendous amount of data is to...
متن کاملRemote Sensing Minefield Area Reduction: Model-based Approaches for the Extraction of Minefield Indicators
The use of high resolution commercial satellite and airborne images for the survey of landmine suspected areas has been suggested recently in the context of Mine Action to (i) map the hazardous area (suspected minefield), and (ii) possibly reduce its extend. Minefields may be identified using methods that directly detect and confirm the location of landmines. Next to this approach, indirect ind...

We investigate the applicability of image analysis to the problem of minefield detection using airborne remote sensing images. We have applied different image processing methods for the detection of minefields, minefield indicators and individual mines. The proposed algorithms involve the extraction of linear features (roads, paths, fences, wires,...), detection of periodic patterns (e.g. regul...
