Infrared imagery is widely used in many applications in both civilian and military areas. In landmine detection, the goal is to detect the anomalies between mine surface and soil from variation of reflected/emitted thermal radiation. In this study, various types of anomaly detection techniques of IR are investigated and the feasibility of these techniques for use in landmine detection is analyzed. Additionally, effects of parameters for algorithms are compared and the parameters are optimized for increasing detection accuracy. Furthermore, fusion of the algorithms is performed to reduce False Alarm Rate (FAR). We also prepare an experimental setup to reflect the effects of environmental changes on FLIR imagery recording. Soil and various types of landmine mock-ups are also examined in this setup. Finally, all anomalies are mapped into local coordinate space for indicating possible landmines locations.

Forward-looking long-wave infrared image based prescreener for landmine detection
Doğan, Aylin; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
Infrared imagery is widely used in many applications in both civilian and military areas. In landmine detection, the goal is to detect the anomalies between mine surface and soil from variation of reflected/emitted thermal radiation. In this thesis, various types of anomaly detection techniques of IR are investigated and the feasibility of these techniques for use in landmine detection is analysed.

A REVIEW OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC ENERGETIC MATERIALS
Türker, Burhan Lemi; Varis, Serhat (2009-01-01)
Explosives are employed extensively not only in military areas but also in civilian applications. There are many researchers working on the discovery of explosives. In recent years, synthetic and theoretical studies on polycyclic aromatic explosives have received significant interest. The present short review concentrates on the synthesis and some of the physico-chemical characteristics of energetic materials of the classes of tetraazapentalene, naphthalene, di-and tetraaza-naphthalene, pyrazolo-pyrazole, b...
Design of an experimental FMCW weather radar
Coşkun, Salih; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
FMCW Radars are used in many applications including weather surveillance. Transmitting during the entire observation interval makes them efficient in terms of required power. They are also cheap and easy to implement. This study which was conducted as a master's thesis, is a radar system working at X band. In this system, 0.8 Watts continuous electromagnetic wave which is modulated with a frequency ramp of 30 MHz bandwidth is generated and radiated through the transmit antenna. The scattered signal from the...
Dim point target tracking in infrared image sequences with low SNR
Güler, Zahide Selin; Vural, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016)
Dim point target tracking in infrared (IR) images has been an active research area especially in military fields. Due to the long distance from IR sensors, target appears as a dim moving point hidden in a heavily cluttered background and causes the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) to be very low. We present a tracking algorithm based on Particle Filters (PF), which estimates the target position by using both brightness level and motion model measurements. A target candidate list for the presented PF algorithm is...
Imaging infrared seeker design
Ünal, Ahmet; Çakır, Serhat; Department of Physics (2014)
The subject of this study is the design of an imaging infrared seeker for aerial targets. Firstly the radiant power of the target was discussed and optical design of seeker lenses were done with ZEMAX Optical Design Software considering the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) values, optical path ifferences, distortions and detection range calculations. After that, detection range calculations and simulation results of the optical system were presented. Before lock on range calculations, spectral band of the...
