Modelling of Buried Object Detection Using Thermography

In order to evaluate a possibility for buried object detection using active IR the laboratory set-up was made. The experimental system consists of a box containing two different soil types. In soils, objects of different dimensions are buried. The surface temperature distribution is measured using thermography. Additionally, the soil temperature depth profile and soil humidity are measured. Using the developed mathematical model and measured temperature distribution the possibility for buried object detection and identification are discussed. The objective of the work is to try to develop applicable method for precise buried object position determination. Results obtained are discussed from the point of view of possible application of the method for buried antipersonnel landmines detection in the humanitarian demining.
