ALIS development for humanitarian demining and its evaluation tests

ALIS is a hand-held dual-sensor developed for humanitarian demining. The dual-sensor ALIS is equipped with a metal detector and a GPR (ground penetrating radar). An unique and novel sensor tracking system, which can record the GPR and metal detector signal with its location is equipped in ALIS. Due to its sensor location information, we can reconstruct buried land mine images after data acquisition. The image reconstruction, or migration processing drastically increases the quality of the image of the buried objects. ALIS evaluation test was conducted in Croatia in October 2007. Then after, we stared a half-year evaluation test of ALIS in QC test in Croatia in December 2007. This test will be conducted in various soil and environmental conditions in Croatia.
