Electromagnetic soil properties variability in a mine-field trial site in Cambodia
conference paper
In this paper, the characterization of the electromagnetic soil properties of a blind lane used in a trial for a dual-sensor mine detector is presented. Several techniques are used and are compared here; Time Domain Reflectometry, gravimetric techniques and Frequency Domain Reflection and Transmission methods. The derived soil properties are mapped by interpolation and the resulting maps are compared with the recorded deminers' performance on the lane. Recurrent and non-predicted results from the performance of the dual-sensor detector are explained as the results of variability of certain properties.
