Abstract | Sub-surface and buried landmines, with the surrounding environment constitute a complex system with variable characteristics. Infrared thermography techniques are attractive candidates for this kind of applications. They can be used from a considerable standoff distance to provide information on several mine properties, and they can also rapidly survey large areas. This paper presents a robust method for landmine detection and recognition. It uses the mean-shift algorithm to segment the acquired infrared image. The segmented image retains pixels associated with mines together with background clutters. To determine which pixels represent the mines, a second phase of segmentation is applied to the output of the mean-shift algorithm by using a self-organizing maps (SOM) algorithm. Depending on the resulted cluster intensity variations, the chips extracted from the segmented image are processed to extract mine signatures. After that, the extracted signatures are scanned horizontally, vertically, and diagonally to build a cluster intensity variation profile. This profile is statistically compared with the known mine signature profiles v. The proposed system is applied on series of time variant mid-wave infrared images (MWIR), and the test result show that the system can effectively recognize the mines with low false alarm rate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
