Detection and Classification of Landmines using AR Modeling of GPR Data

conference paper
In this paper we present some results on detection and classification of low metal content anti personnel (AP) landmines using a modified version of the Auto Regressive (AR) modeling algorithm presented in [1,2]. A statistical distance is computed between the AR coefficients of the measured GPR time signal and the AR coefficients of a reference database (containing the AR models of the mines of interest) and a detection is declared if this distance is below a given threshold.
