Paul GaderPaul GaderLand Mine Detection OverviewLand Mine Detection Overview

Estimated Between 60-80 Million Land Mines Buried Throughout World

UF Researchers working with government and industry involved in signal and image processing algorithms to detect landmines using a variety of sensor technologies,

– Ground Penetrating Radar– Acoustics and Lasers– Infrared

Interaction with ECE (report here only on projects lead by CISE)

Future interaction with other departments (Nuclear, Mechanical)
