Ground penetrating radar mounted on micro aerial vehicle (MAV) is a promising tool to assist humanitarian landmine clearance. However, the quality of synthetic aperture radar images depends on accurate and precise motion estimation of the…

Landmines remain a pervasive threat in conflict-affected regions worldwide, exacting a toll on innocent lives. Shockingly, every 95 minutes, another individual becomes a victim of these lethal explosive devices (Landmines Monitor 2022…

Landmines have been extensively used in conflict zones as an indiscriminate weapon to control military movements, often remaining active long after hostilities have ended. Their presence poses a persistent danger to civilians, hindering…

The detection and removal of landmines is a complex and risky task that requires advanced remote sensing techniques to reduce the risk for the professionals involved in this task. In this paper, we propose a novel synthetic dataset for…

Landmines remain a persistent humanitarian threat, with an estimated 110 million mines deployed across 60 countries, claiming approximately 26,000 casualties annually. Current detection methods are hazardous, inefficient, and prohibitively…

Motivated by applications in unmanned aerial based ground penetrating radar for detecting buried landmines, we consider the problem of imaging small point like scatterers situated in a lossy medium below a random rough surface. Both the…

The use of robotics in humanitarian demining increasingly involves computer vision techniques to improve landmine detection capabilities. However, in the absence of diverse and realistic datasets, the reliable validation of algorithms…

Buried landmines and unexploded remnants of war are a constant threat for the population of many countries that have been hit by wars in the past years. The huge amount of human lives lost due to this phenomenon has been a strong motivation…

A problem with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is that due to the poor penetrating action of electromagnetic waves within solid bodies, the ability to observe through distributed targets is precluded. In this context, indeed, imaging is only…

We propose a robust likelihood-ratio test (LRT) to detect landmines and unexploded ordnance using a forward-looking ground-penetrating radar. Instead of modeling the distributions of the target and clutter returns with parametric families,…

This paper introduces a novel benchmark dataset of Visible and Near-Infrared (VNIR) hyperspectral imagery acquired via an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform for landmine and unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection research. The dataset was…

Millimeter wave radars are popularly used in last-mile radar-based defense systems. Detection of low-altitude airborne target using these radars at low-grazing angles is an important problem in the field of electronic warfare, which becomes…

Landmines, specifically anti-tank mines, cluster bombs, and unexploded ordnance form a serious problem in many countries. Several landmine sweeping techniques are used for minesweeping. This paper presents the design and the implementation…

With climate change predicted to increase the likelihood of landslide events, there is a growing need for rapid landslide detection technologies that help inform emergency responses. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a remote sensing…

In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with imaging sensors and automated processing algorithms have emerged as a promising tool to accelerate large-area surveys while reducing risk to human operators. Although…

Using low-frequency (UHF to L-band) ultra-wideband (UWB) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology for detecting buried and obscured targets, e.g. bomb or mine, has been successfully demonstrated recently. Despite promising recent progress,…

The integration of sensing capabilities into 5G New Radio (5G NR) networks offers an opportunity to enable the detection of airborne objects without the need for dedicated radars. This paper investigates the feasibility of using…

Small, low-cost radar sensors offer a lighting independent sensing capability for indoor mobile robots that is useful for localization and mapping. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) offers an attractive way to increase the angular resolution…

Real-time, meter-resolution gamma-ray mapping is relevant in the detection and mapping of radiological materials, and for applications ranging from nuclear decommissioning, waste management, and environmental remediation to homeland…

Landmines remain a persistent humanitarian threat, with 110 million actively deployed mines across 60 countries, claiming 26,000 casualties annually. This research evaluates adaptive Red-Green-Blue (RGB) and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) fusion…
