Abstract
The metal detector is the most widely used sensor in humanitarian demining. However, it does not provide enough information for the detection of objects with a low metal content. In this paper, we propose to combine it with other sensors, as investigated within HUDEM, a technology exploration project on humanitarian demining. Based on the specificities of such objects, we propose a method for modelling and fusion of measures extracted from the sensors in the framework of the Dempster-Shafer theory. We show how these objects can be distinguished from non-metallic and highly metallic ones. We also discuss how the proposed method deals with situations where the sensors do not detect the same object.
