Title :
Pattern recognition for humanitarian de-mining
Abstract :
Landmine detection has become a humanitarian problem of great magnitude. It is estimated that there are between 60 and 100 million landmines buried around the world and that someone is killed or injured by landmines every 20 minutes. Pattern recognition problems in this area are discussed. A brief overview of sensors used to collect data is given. Current pattern recognition methodologies in use are described. Future challenges are outlined.
