Using Polarization features of visible light for automatic landmine detection

Abstract

This chapter describes the usage of polarization features of visible light for automatic landmine detection. The first section gives an introduction to land-mine detection and the usage of camera systems. In section 2 detection concepts and methods that use polarization features are described. Section 3 describes how these detection concepts have been tested and evaluated. The results of these tests are given in section 4. Conclusions from these results are given in section 5
