Abstract:

In recent times, landmines have created unaccounted fatalities across the world. The detection of mines buried beneath the surface is paramount to avert inhuman risks associated with mine deployment and explosion. In this paper, a substantive design of an intelligible landmine detective system is proposed based on precise control over aerial motion planning and metal detection. The proposed mine detector is capable of providing virtual mapping of the traversed area and a concatenated map of the points of metal signatures, no matter whether it is a rough terrain or inclined surface. Since the aerial route is considered for surface exploration, the avoidance of assimilating the mine paths is reliably possible. The dynamism of path generation correlates to GPS coordinates of detected mines. A modified metal detection technique is developed based on electromagnetic radiation estimates to discriminate metals, mines and bare explosives like RDX. The proposed system can identify the explosion type of the detonator and recognize electrically controlled explosives. This paper appends several test studies of the system under different consequences, such as different location of metals, variation of metals in size and type, varied experimental arena and the evaluated results affirm the reliability and cost-effectiveness of the reported framework.
