Background: Several landmine detection methods, based on nuclear techniques, have been suggested during the recent years. Neutron energy moderation, neutron-induced gamma emission, neutron and gamma attenuation, and fast neutron backscattering are nuclear-based methods used for landmine detection. The aim of this study is to use backscattered neutron for landmine detection. Materials ...

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 ...

Background: Several landmine detection methods, based on nuclear techniques, have been suggested up to now. Neutron-induced gamma emission, neutron and gamma attenuation, and fast neutron backscattering are the nuclear methods used for landmine detection. In this paper an optimized (safe and effective) moderating structure using an 241Am-Be neutron source for detecting landmines has been invest...

We consider the problem of autonomous landmine detection using a team of mobile robots. Previous research on robotic landmine detection mostly employs a single robot equipped with a landmine detection sensor to detect landmines. We envisage that the quality of landmine detection can be significantly improved if multiple robots are coordinated to detect landmines in a cooperative manner by incre...

One of the principal limitations employing a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for landmine detection is presence clutter, i.e., reflections from surrounding environment, which might interfere with echoes. Clutter presents similar scattering characteristics as typical targets and may significantly raise threshold system. The capability to characterize internal structure buried target provide key u...

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...

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...

as a result of being hydrogenous moderators, several landmine detection methods based onnuclear techniques have been suggested in recent years. because of elastic scattering and moderating neutrons from hydrogen atoms in landmines, detection of backscattered neutron shows an anomaly in the reflected thermal neutrons count when a detector scans over a mine. on landmine detection using neutron so...
