Abstract :
We describe a new method of minefield reconnaissance with use of the broad size detector. The method allows terrain radio images to be obtained in the band of the mine detector sensors. The experimental installation was created with a set of radio ground probing sensors. To treat the radio images and to reduce the number of false alarms, spatial algorithms were proposed. A mine detector of this kind can be used in peacekeeping and humanitarian operations
