Abstract
There are many countries affected by landmines which present
a major threat to lives and cause economic problems.
Landmines are harmful because of their unknown positions
and often difficult to detect. The development of new demining
technologies is difficult because of the tremendous diversity of
terrains and environmental conditions in which mines are laid
and also because of the wide variety of landmines. Currently,
detecting and clearing mines demand specific expertise with
special equipment. This paper presents different techniques
used for landmines detection. It discusses the strategies that
can enable the robot to detect mines by means of sensors. This
paper deals also with the processing of the fused information
from different sensors to guide soldiers when passing
landmines. The purpose is to give an overview of the
landmines detection techniques by using the autonomous
robots which are capable of exploring and detecting buried
landmines and marking their locations.
