Demining operations are complex activities because of the large variety of existing landmine types, many different possible soil and terrain conditions, and environmental circumstances. Due to its ability of detecting both metallic and non-metallic objects, ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a promising method for detecting landmines that may allow faster and safer operations. As the performance of GPR is mainly governed by the target signature, the potential of discriminating target based on the presence of internal reflections could be a valuable advantage for identification and recognition process. This study demonstrates that from a set of high resolution GPR slices the internal design of the landmine can be properly imaged and characterised, confirming the applicability of the methodology and the validity of such an approach. date: 2018-06-11 date_type: published publisher: IEEE official_url: https://doi.org/10.1109/RADAR.2018.8378733 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1571736 doi: 10.1109/RADAR.2018.8378733 isbn_13: 9781538641682 lyricists_name: Griffiths, Hugh lyricists_name: Lombardi, Federico lyricists_id: HDGRI98 lyricists_id: FLOMB53 actors_name: Lombardi, Federico actors_id: FLOMB53 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public series: IEEE Radar Conference publication: 2018 IEEE RADAR CONFERENCE (RADARCONF18) pagerange: 1201-1206 pages: 6 event_title: RadarConf18, IEEE Radar Conference, 23-27 April 2018, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA event_location: Oklahoma City, OK event_dates: 23 April 2018 - 27 April 2018 institution: IEEE Radar Conference issn: 1097-5764 book_title: 2018 IEEE Radar Conference (RadarConf18) citation: Lombardi, F; Griffiths, HD; Balleri, A; (2018) Landmine Internal Structure Detection from Ground Penetrating Radar Images.
