Processed infrared images of plastic and metallic landmines in an Argentine project

A great development of technologies for the detection of buried landmines took place worldwide in the last years. In Argentina, a project for the development of an autonomous robot with sensors for landmines detection was recently approved by the Science and Technology National Agency. Within this p...

We are looking for a landmine detection method as simple and fast possible, with detection capability of metallic and plastic landmines and an acceptable false alarm rate which would be reduced when applied with other detection methods as GPR and electromagnetic induction. We present obtained and processed images and results obtained to distinguish buried landmines from other buried objects. Fil:Mejail, M.E. Universidad de Buenos Aires.
