Detecting Landmines: Subsurfece Imaging by Space-Time Deconvolution for a GPR Array

The UN states that around 80-110 million landmines are laid throughout the world. Landmines can remain active for decades, so they continue to be a threat even after the conflict has long been resolved. Since mines can not distinguish between soldier and civilians, they cause a high number of civilian casualties. Annually thousands of people are killed or maimed by landmines, so the reason for the need for clearing them is quite obvious. Various methods exist to detect the landmines; each having his own advantages and drawbacks.
