GPR Signal Processing with Geography Adaptive Scanning using Vector Radar for Antipersonal Landmine Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 on a sub-surface image output from GPR by first problem. Geography adaptive scanning is useful to image objects beneath rough ground surface. Second problem makes larger the nonlinearity of the relationship between the time for propagation and the depth of a buried object, imaging the small objects such as an antipersonnel landmine closer to the antennas. In this paper, we modify Kirchhoff migration so as to account for not only the variation of position of the sensor head, but also the antennas alignment of the vector radar. The validity of this method is discussed through application to the signals acquired in experiments.

Multi-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...

Syntactic landmine detection has been proposed to detect and classify non-metallic landmines using ground penetrating radar (GPR). In this approach, the GPR return is processed to extract characteristic binary strings for landmine and clutter discrimination. In our previous work, we discussed the preprocessing methodology by which the amplitude information of the GPR A-scan signal can be effect...

An automatic landmine detection algorithm using Ground Penetrating Radar is described. The algorithm combines outputs of multiple detection and feature extraction algorithms to generate a single confidence that a landmine is present at a location. The combination is performed using a fuzzy inference system. Results are provided for real data obtained in real-time with the Geo-Centers Vehicle Mo...

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 کاملGround Penetrating Radar Signal Processing for Landmine Detection
This thesis is concerned with detection logarithms of non-metallic anti-personnel (AP) land mines and the related signal processing using stepped-frequency ground penetrating radar (SF-GPR) technique. Modern land mines are essentially made out of plastic and ceramic materials. This makes their detection using GPR sensor almost impossible without proper signal processing. Many signal processing ...
