Land mine detection – Signal Processing Group |
Surface laid mines are commonly encountered — troops often do not have time to adequately bury them and many mines are deployed from helicopters and airplanes. Unfortunately, in practice, these objects are seldom completely visible from above. Instead they are commonly partly occluded (covered). In some cases, mines are deliberately placed under bushes or in high grass. In other cases, surface laid mines may become partially occluded over time due to environmental changes, such as the movement of soil. |

Landmine Detector |
Landmines are prominent weapons designed to destroy or disable enemy targets which detonate by the movement of its target, pressure, sound, magnetism and vibration. More than a hundred million land mines are scattered around the world which remain hazardous for years even after conflict termination posing a significant threat to civilians and the economy. More Effective and sophisticated tools to detect, locate and deactivate landmines are urgently needed to make lands safer for humans to use. |

Deep Learning-Based Real-Time Detection of Surface Landmines Using Optical Imaging |
This paper presents a pioneering study in the application of real-time surface landmine detection using a combination of robotics and deep learning. We introduce a novel system integrated within a demining robot, capable of detecting landmines in real time with high recall. Utilizing YOLOv8 models, we leverage both optical imaging and artificial intelligence to identify two common types of surface landmines: PFM-1 (butterfly) and PMA-2 (starfish with tripwire). Our system runs at 2 FPS on a mobile device missing at most 1.6% of targets. It demonstrates significant advancements in operational speed and autonomy, surpassing conventional methods while being compatible with other approaches like UAV. In addition to the proposed system, we release two datasets with remarkable differences in landmine and background colors, built to train and test the model performances. | https://www.mdpi.com/2677176 |

Sea Mine Detection Framework Using YOLO, SSD and EfficientDet Deep Learning Models
|
In the context of new geopolitical tensions due to the current armed conflicts, safety in terms of navigation has been threatened due to the large number of sea mines placed, in particular, within the sea conflict areas. Additionally, since a large number of mines have recently been reported to have drifted into the territories of the Black Sea countries such as Romania, Bulgaria Georgia and Turkey, which have intense commercial and tourism activities in their coastal areas, the safety of those economic activities is threatened by possible accidents that may occur due to the above-mentioned situation. The use of deep learning in a military operation is widespread, especially for combating drones and other killer robots. Therefore, the present research addresses the detection of floating and underwater sea mines using images recorded from cameras (taken from drones, submarines, ships and boats). Due to the low number of sea mine images, the current research used both an augmentation technique and synthetic image generation (by overlapping images with different types of mines over water backgrounds), and two datasets were built (for floating mines and for underwater mines). Three deep learning models, respectively, YOLOv5, SSD and EfficientDet (YOLOv5 and SSD for floating mines and YOLOv5 and EfficientDet for underwater mines), were trained and compared. In the context of using three algorithm models, YOLO, SSD and EfficientDet, the new generated system revealed high accuracy in object recognition, namely the detection of floating and anchored mines. Moreover, tests carried out on portable computing equipment, such as Raspberry Pi, illustrated the possibility of including such an application for real-time scenarios, with the time of 2 s per frame being improved if devices use high-performance cameras. | https://www.mdpi.com/1989914 |
