Abstract

In this paper we consider a linearised three-dimensional thermal model for buried landmine detection. Three aspects are analysed: i) efficient numerical methods for solving the thermal model, ii) estimation of physical and meteorological parameters of an arbitrary minefield which are actually necessary input parameters of the thermal model, iii) the validity and applicability of the thermal model in real minefields.
