Summarization of geophysical detection technologies for anti-personnel mines
防步兵地雷地球物理探测技术国内外研究动态

Millions of landmines remaining from past conflicts have produced serious humanitarian problems.Antipersonnel(AP) landmines are big troubles for detection because of small size and low metal content.So to increase applied research of novel detection technologies is urgent in order to remove AP landmines.Sensitive,reliable and low cost sensors are the first and absolute requirement for the design of demining sensors.Currently landmine detection technologies consist of geophysical detection technologies and non-geophysical detection technologies.Geophysical detection technologies mainly include electromagnetic induction,infrared imaging,nuclear quadrupole resonace,and ground penetrating radar.This paper introduces the theory and application of these technologies,and summarizes their advangtages and disadvangtages.
