DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggab371
Abstract: We investigate if it is theoretically possible to discriminate between unexploded ordnance (UXO) and non-UXO sources by modelling the magnetic dipole moment for ferrous objects of different shapes and sizes. This is carried out by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/jstars.2022.3200144
Abstract: The detection of old submerged ammunition that is located on or below the seabed is an important preparatory work for offshore projects. Multibeam echosounder, side-scan sonar, sub-bottom profiler, and magnetometers are the sensor types that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tim.2019.2917236
Abstract: Characteristic response parameterized in time-dependent target intrinsic polarizabilities has been widely used to create feature libraries for unexploded ordnance (UXO) discrimination. This paper discusses the accurate measurement of characteristic response for UXOs with transient electromagnetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0229826
Abstract: Unexploded ordnance (UXO) pose a significant threat to post-conflict communities, and current efforts to locate bombs rely on time-intensive and dangerous in-person enumeration. Very high resolution (VHR) sub-meter satellite images may offer a low-cost and… read more here.
