Developing advanced electromagnetic induction methods for landmine detection

Conventional metal detectors used in humanitarian demining feature high sensitivity to extremely low quantities of metal, but also introduce enormous false alarm rate due to their inability to discriminate between metal parts of a mine and metallic clutter. In this paper we present the current state-of-the-art in the field of advanced electromagnetic induction (EMI) methods for landmine detection. We focus on the two research topics that have the potential to significantly improve the detection of low-metal content landmines: metallic object characterisation and model-based compensation of soil effects. Also, some of the key technical issues related to the practical implementation of advanced EMI detectors are briefly discussed. At the end, the main outlines of the project DEMINED, carried out by the University of Zagreb, are presented.
