Extracting Landmine Characteristics Using Electromagnetic Techniques

Abstract

More than 70 countries suffer from around 100 million landmines all over the world. There are two steps to get rid of the landmines; firstly detect and allocate the position of them then removal step. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technique is considered a promising technique for landmine detection and wide range of detection applications. It can detect both metallic and non-metallic landmine. The GPR systems subjects to R&D in various challenges in order to enhance the efficiency of the whole system. Current research is performing on both hardware as well as software like antenna and algorithms respectively.
