Abstract :
Geo-location is essential for landmine search using vehicular-mounted sensors. The vehicle and targets were combined into an incorporated model versus a separated model. Colored noise modeling is required for the separated model since the vehicle estimate errors are colored. An inventory is introduced for maintaining information on detected mines. Results from simulations using actual data indicate precision of 0.25 m indicating promise for the method.
