“…In order to address the latter, a smaller system with different sensors was proposed. Therefore, using a high mobility robotic platform, the authors proposed a system that contains five separate technologies: 2 hyperspectral cameras (thermal infrared (TIR) and VNIR), a scanning sensor imaging system which is mounted on a custom built articulated robotic scanner, and a nuclear confirmation sensor [28]. The role of each technique is as follows:…”

“…To date, various prototype multisensor mine detector systems have been developed. As an example Canadian teleoperated landmine detection systems use five different technologies: electromagnetic induction, visible wavelength imaging, GPR for a quick scan of the minefield and thermal neutron analysis as a confirmation tool [2] [3]. The combination of GPR and metal detector was discussed in [4] [5].…”

Abstract-A next generation system, as an upgrade of a robotic mobile system for anti-personnel landmine clearance, was considered. In contrast to the first generation system where the fast neutron activation method and the associated alpha particle imaging (API) was supposed to be used for finding the residual explosives and/or landmines, in the next generation system fast neutrons (FN) was considered to be used only for the confirmation of the explosive in the suspected object previously found by the ground penetrating radar (GPR), metal detector (MD) and infrared imaging (IR). Such system is expected to have the acceptable price and the optimal demining vehicle speed of 10 cm/s. In contrast to the previous system only one neutron generator (NG) is needed. In order to study the possibility of FN to confirm the presence of TNT explosive in the real environment the tests were made with the soil of different moisture contents. Comparative study was done by using the cm cm BGO, cm cm and cm cm NaI(Tl) gamma-ray detectors. Although nitrogen was easily detected in larger amount of TNT explosive, its signal was weak in detection of Anti-Personal (AP) mine like DLM2.4. The presences of soil additionally diminish the possibility of nitrogen detection even in the Anti-Tank mines (AT).Index Terms-Antipersonnel landmine detection, associated particle imaging, fast neutrons, multisensor.
