Abstract

The MsMs project is a major campaign to collect calibrated and well-documented data, suitable for use by workers developing advanced multisensor algorithms for antipersonnel mine detection. The data, together with a full description of the site layout and measurement protocols, are publicly available via the internet site http://demining.jrc.it/msms. Measurements are made on a test lane consisting of 7 plots of different soils, each 6m by 6m, populated with surrogate mines, calibration objects, simulated clutter and position markers. There are 48 targets in each plot, configured identically for all plots. A first report was presented last year. Since then, laser acoustic vibrometer and magnetometer data have been added and the metal detector and thermal infrared data have been augmented. The database has been reformatted to make it more uniform and user-friendly and to remove typographic mistakes. The test site remains essentially unchanged, apart from some equipment upgrades, and is available for further data collection. In particular, the targets have not been moved, so as to provide stable surrounding soil conditions representative of mines left undisturbed for long periods post-conflict. This presentation will describe the new data and data format, the status of the upgrades and the outlook for the future.
