Anti-personnel Landmine Detection for Humanitarian Demining The Current Situation and Future Direction for Japanese Research and Development

There are more than 70 countries in the world that suffer from the presence of landmines. Annually, between 15,000 and 20,000 people are killed or injured by these mines so there is a pressing need for advances in technology to help to remove them. Anti-personnel Landmine Detection for Humanitarian...
