Disturbed Soil Signatures for Mine Detection
Abstract
We are investigating the phenomenology of disturbed soil signature due to mine emplacement. Non-imaging spectral sensors and high-frequency radars are being used to collect disturbed soil signatures over a wide range of geo-environmental conditions. The properties and processes of the disturbed soil that can be exploited to assist in the detection of buried landmines are first identified. This will be followed by time series investigation to understand the effects of weathering on these properties and processes. Our goal is to provide a quantitative assessment of remote electro-optical and radar techniques for reliably detecting disturbed soil due to mine emplacement.
