Title: An Innovative NXT Mobile Robot System for Landmine Detection
Authors: Alaa Sheta and Mohammad Salamah
Abstract: The current landmine detection technologies suffer many challenges on solving the humanitarian demining problem. Until now, detection and clearance in humanitarian demining very often relies on manual methods such as metal detector, as a primary procedure. The aim of this paper is to propose a multistage image processing methodology to detect the location of landmines in IR images. The methodology count on the use of morphological image processing to detect the target mines. A database of images provided by the Royal Military Academy of Belgium was used to develop our results. The proposed MIP methodology was integrated with an NXT mobile robot, a smart N80 mobile phone and PC Server to test the developed software on a grid based environment. It was found that the proposed methodology and integrated system is very promising.
