Sažetak
Conventional metal detectors used in humanitarian demining feature high sensitivity to extremely low quantities of metal, such as those found in low- metallic content landmines. On the other hand, enormous false alarm rates (up to 1, 000 alarms per mine) are introduced, due to detectors inability to discriminate between metallic parts of a mine and non-hazardous metallic clutter. If metal detectors could be upgraded such as to provide information on target’s size, shape, position, orientation and material properties, false alarm rates could be significantly reduced. In this paper, we present the basic concept of model-based metallic target characterisation (MTC) and the related work of our research group. Also, we discuss some practical implications of the proposed methodology with respect to its possible deployment in the field: either in a form of handheld device or for mounting on robotic platforms.
