Abstract
Systems and method to detect presence of buried landmines in a suspect area. A drone is outfitted with a ground penetrating radar, an infrared camera, and a metal detector mounted onto a leveling platform. The drone is flown over the suspect area while maintaining the leveling platform horizontal. Signals from the ground penetrating radar, an infrared camera, and a metal detector are converted into radargram, thermal image, and metal gram. Convolutional neural networks are applied to each of the into radargram, thermal image, and metal gram to detect anomalies.
