Abstract :
The problem of antipersonnel landmine detection using the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is discussed. Advanced data-processing algorithms are proposed attempting to solve the arisen inverse scattering problem. In particular, we consider the Method of Image Moments and the Effective Inversion approach. Tests with synthetic and experimental data are presented
