| Abstract(in English) | Ground penetrating radar is one of the sensors applicable to landmine detection. However, for practical application of GPR sensors to detection of buried landmines, it is required to reduce high incidence of false alarms caused by a strong ground clutter and returns from other confusing objects such as stones, tree roots, or metal fragments underground. In order to reduce the false alarms, development of identification techniques for GPR sensor to discriminate desired landmines between confusing objects becomes important. In this study, we propose three kinds of features for landmine discrimination and demonstrate the effectiveness and limitations of them through Monte Carlo simulations. As the landmine model, we employ a landmine-shape object with a small air gap in it and generate data samples by using a two-dimensional FDTD method. Effects of soil condition and inclination of the landmine on discrimination performance are checked, and applicability of the features to actual problems is also checked through simple laboratory experiments. |
