      <title>1. Introduction</title>
      <p>
        The problem of humanitarian demining, as well as the search for unexploded ordnance (UXO) are
very relevant today. According to review works by M.K. Habib (2008) [1] and Carolay
CamachoSanchez et al (2023) in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">2</xref>
        ], the number of installed and inactive mines in the world is tens of millions
of units. Since the problem of demining has been extremely relevant since the Second World War,
demining technologies have been developed to a certain extent, but marginal lands have traditionally
received less attention. In the 21st century, as a potential threat to logistics chains, along with the
focus of a number of countries on renewable energy sources, interest in biogas and fuel briquettes has
increased. When building strategies for the development of energy independence of communities
according to Giuseppe Pulighe et al (2019) in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">3</xref>
        ] from India and Sheikh Adil Edrisi et al (2022) in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">4</xref>
        ]
from the EU and N. Pasichnyk et al (2021) in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">5</xref>
        ] in Ukraine emphasize that even in conditions of
growing food demand, it is marginal lands that are a real source for growing bioenergy raw materials.
      </p>
      <p>
        Even in areas relatively far from the front or battle lines, the threat of the appearance of
minefields, including on marginal lands, is quite significant. According to Matthew Bolton (2015) in
[
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">6</xref>
        ], the concept of mine warfare changes for modern armies when they move from mine barriers to
mine spaces. This is explained by the fact that the armed forces of the army and paramilitary
formations have a large number of wheeled and tracked vehicles capable of relatively easy movement

on off-road terrain, which made deep breakthroughs of mobile units possible. To counter this threat,
the army uses mine barriers that are simply laid out on the ground. For this, special equipment was
developed, namely Tracked minelayer GMZ-3 (USSR), Minenverleger 85 (BRD), etc. Such barriers
are relatively poorly detected especially on marginal lands, as they are, as a rule, distant from
populated areas and, accordingly, their installation by local residents is not visually recorded.</p>
      <p>Taking into account the urgent need for the introduction of marginal lands into agricultural
practices for the needs of biogeneration, the development of express monitoring methods for the
presence of mines in the fields is urgent, which was the goal of the work.</p>

      <title>2. The aim of the study</title>
      <p>
        In the wars of the 20th century, mines were used to reinforce the line of defense and, apparently, to
enhance their effectiveness, they dug into the ground and disguised themselves in various ways.
Apparently, from the remote control of satellites and flights, the most important locations of mine
fields were identified as emerging from the growth of fortification of spores. Ground-based
monitoring equipment was previously insured for mine burial. For this purpose, a large number of
physical and biological methods were described in the survey robot Yossef Kabessa et al (2016) in
[
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6">7</xref>
        ], which shows the main problems and the scale of physical methods and vibrancy (electromagnetic
induction) This is also the low accuracy of biological research methods. The authors do not see a
single most promising approach for monitoring mines, although all methods are being developed and
refined. Let's take a look at these methods: Biological methods are based on the unique smell of the
extractor. In the work of Adee Schoon et al (2022) in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7">8</xref>
        ], the evidence of the selection of dogs for
detection in Cambodia was described, where positive results were obtained, during the next hour we
spent time preparing the animals and additionally required a canine specialist to handle the animals.
      </p>
      <p>
        Before that, the fields are thrown into the legacy of the battlefields and become overgrown with
tea leaves in which practice is physically important for dogs. After removing such boundaries, robots
were carried out in order to eliminate them to indicate vibration-unsafe items. Thus, in the work of N.
Ross et al (2021) in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">9</xref>
        ] they assessed honey from specially adapted cells for the presence of excess
vibration to estimate the number of minutes. This technology was developed in the work of Janja
Filipi et al (2022) in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref9">10</xref>
        ] where, with the help of webcams, they directly monitored the floor of the
body to directly identify dangerous objects. This approach is effective over time and its accuracy for
sealed ammunition may be questionable. For street smarts in the robot, Aharon J. Agranat et al (2021)
in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10">11</xref>
        ] developed a special biosensor for countering terrorists to mask the vibration in clothing.
      </p>
      <p>With a high selection rate of scaling this technology for areas of several tens or hundreds of
hectares, it will be difficult to organize with a UAV for the permissible range of monitoring in a few
meters. There are other technical reasons.</p>
      <p>Physical methods include active electromagnetic sounding of the surface ball of soil with the help
of electromagnetic pulses and sinusoidal fields (such as metal detectors in the range of 2 - 50 kHz and
ground penetrating radar in the range of 10 0 - 900 MHz), seismic disturbances and neutron vibration,
registration of anomalies and fractions of other physical methods. Physical methods, as a rule, were
developed for the needs of military people who need to know in the shortest possible time what they
can do in their farms. Humanitarian exchange does not cause any harsh differences between the hours
and the weather of minds against the tamed great areas and the creation of a minimum of ruin.</p>
      <p>
        Press the search for vibration-unsafe devices using traditional physical methods of tying with an
influx of significant losses. As shown in the work of S. M. Shrestha and I. Arai (2003) in [

        ], the
suppression of the presence of mass presence in the last plots of third-party metal objects that are
detected by detectors. For better nutrition in development, X. Yan et al (2009) in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref12">13</xref>
        ] proposed a
metal equivalent method, which allows you to see metal objects by weight and storage. Analogue

magnetic floor polarizability (The Magnetic Dipole Polarizabily Tensor) TERIAL OVKTU. By
changing the number of negative results, it is possible to combine a number of different sensors in a
single device, as shown in the work of H. Frigui et al (2010) in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">15</xref>
        ], in which case it is necessary to
ensure the presence of security Rarely at the last stage.
      </p>
      <p>
        Due to the regulation of the scale of the fields, there is a power supply and energy supply, so there
is no waste of energy, for the ground-based acquisition of frequent solutions, pulsed modes of robotic
detectors can be used, as shown in H. Çıtak (2020) in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref15">16</xref>
        ]. These arrangements, designed for military
personnel who want to have a high degree of sensitivity, appear to be incontrovertible and powerful,
often break down and require physical presence in the mine field, which creates significant risks for
life and a mine of a special nature. technology. For humanitarian development, it is necessary to
develop both organizational and new monitoring techniques, so in the work of Carolay
CamachoSanchez et al (2023) in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref16">17</xref>
        ], an analysis of practical evidence shows that it is necessary to develop
optimally and the routes of the teams for monitoring are always under great obligation.

        In the work of Guillermo Rein et al (2017) in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref17">18</xref>
        ], for the needs of humanitarian aid, a controlled
waste of locality is advocated; in practical terms, the authors noted that the use of plastic mines was
carried out, which is not necessary. In addition to this fact, the burning of significant areas can also
cause environmental problems. Now, after analyzing the literature, it is possible to draw conclusions
about the need to develop new non-traditional methods for humanitarian outreach, which can be
scaled up across large areas and activities in the minds of the public. visibility in the fields of
thirdparty metal objects. In the wake of the war in Ukraine, speculation was raised about the possibility of
identifying mines and shells in the fields with the help of thermal imagers. Physically, the method is
based on the fact that the heat capacity of the metal and the vibrating agent is separated from the soil
and, therefore, when heated throughout the day under constant pressure, the temperature of these
objects will be different. can also be recorded remotely. According to data from the Internet of
volunteers from the front, the maximum difference could be recorded both day and night. Such an
approach, given the use of thermal imagers installed on UAVs, could potentially be useful for large
areas of agricultural enterprises. To test this idea, a full-scale experiment was carried out.

        American researchers Baur, J. et al. [

detection of mines and identification of scattered anti-personnel mines when surveying large areas.
This methodology is designed to detect scattered plastic mines that use a liquid explosive contained in
a polyethylene or plastic casing. The findings are based on analysis of multispectral and thermal data
sets collected through UAV observations. Scattered landmines of the PFM-1 type are used as test
objects. The study presents the results of efforts to automate landmine detection based on supervised
learning algorithms using Faster R-CNN. In this case, a testing accuracy of 99.3% was obtained for
the partially hidden test set and 71.5% for the completely hidden test set.

        British researchers I. Giannakis et al. [

artificial neural networks (ANN) to the problem of detecting landmines using ground penetrating
radar (GPR). The authors created and used a training set consisting of simulated data from a wide
range of models with various: topography, soil heterogeneity, mines, false alarm targets, antenna
height, mine laying depth. An article by German researchers J. Schorlemer et al. [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref20">21</xref>
        ] discusses the
correction of visualization errors in mine detection using portable devices caused by the propagation
of electromagnetic waves in the environment. The authors have developed an analytical model that
describes the behavior of refraction on flat and non-planar surfaces and determines the distance
traveled by the wave. The results are tested on datasets suitable for deep neural network training,
which are generated using a finite difference numerical simulator.

data generated by various types of sensors. The authors proposed a two-layer hybrid neural network
structure, including supervised and unsupervised learning, for the detection and subsequent
classification of landmine types. In an article by Italian researchers F. Picetti et al. [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref22">23</xref>
        ], a mine
detection method based on a convolutional autoencoder is proposed. The system uses an anomaly
detection pipeline: an autoencoder examines the description of mine-free GPR B-scans and detects
mine traces as anomalies. At the same time, during training, data containing traces of mines is not
used. This makes it possible to detect new models of landmines.

      <title>3. Experimental conditions</title>
      <p>The research was conducted on September 8-9, 2023 on the basis of the military department of the
National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. Specialists installed TM-62M
anti-tank mines with removed detonators both directly on the ground and buried to a depth of 2-5 cm
at the training ground of the department, according to the mine-explosives guidelines. Both samples
were exposed to direct sunlight. The following samples were studied in parallel (Fig. 1):
• A shot of a 125-mm educational and training high-explosive tank projectile (weight 23 kg). 2
units under direct sunlight, where 1 sample is directly on the surface and the other is buried to a depth
of 2-5 cm.</p>
      <p>• Educational and training grenades F1 (weight 0.5 kg). 3 units - on the surface, and buried to a
depth of 2-5 cm, as well as a sample in the shade.</p>
      <p>• Shells from 23 and 30 mm projectiles (as possible metal contamination)</p>
      <p>On September 8, 2023, the weather was sunny and cloudless. According to meteorological
observations, wind gusts were 2-3 m/s. The experimental objects were installed at 10 in the morning.
Research continued from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Using a penetrometer, the temperatures of objects were
recorded in a non-contact manner. Along with the surface temperature, the intensity of solar radiation
was determined (Fig. 2). Thermal imaging studies were carried out using the TROTECT model
IC085LV device.</p>

      <title>4. Results and Discussion</title>
      <p>When conducting experimental research, it was not possible to identify a mine or projectile buried
in the soil to a depth of 2-5 cm. During thermal imaging of anomalies for buried munitions, the
unevenness of the terrain itself was actually recorded (Fig. 3). These data correlate in a certain way
with the data of other researchers obtained from the Internet (Fig. 4). That is, for ammunition buried
in accordance with the mine-explosives guidelines, monitoring by thermal imaging devices turned out
to be ineffective. Similar results were obtained at the test site for a high-explosive projectile that was
not detected by thermal imaging. The obtained results of object monitoring are shown in Table 1.
Time</p>
      <p>Based on the results obtained in cloudy weather (the sample is in the shade), monitoring is
impractical. It was experimentally established that during thermal imaging monitoring, the presence
of metal pollution, unlike classic metal detectors, does not pose a problem. Due to the thin metal of
the sleeves and their relatively large surface area, their heat capacity is low, thanks to which rapid
cooling occurs (Fig. 5). The assumption about the expediency of monitoring in the evening or at night
turned out to be wrong, the maximum temperature difference between the mine and the soil was
recorded during the day. Prospects of practical use of thermal imaging monitoring for humanitarian
demining.</p>
      <p>
        Places of intense hostilities are easily identified by mass funnels from explosions and, accordingly,
require classic demining. Places, in particular marginal agricultural land, can be investigated by
thermal imaging means, but even in the absence of sinkholes, extraneous objects such as car tires,
etc., can be recorded. That is, the presence of safe artificial objects is possible, which will cause
identification errors. Since the main threat to random minefields is actually square minefields, it is
possible to identify them based on the nature of the installation of GMZ-3 barriers or its analogues.
According to the standards, such mine barriers can have from 2 to 6 rows of mines. A row of mines is
usually not strictly rectilinear. When installing a row with the help of a mine spreader, depending on
the terrain, the row can smoothly bend in any direction by approximately 5-30 degrees. The minimum
distance between rows is 35 meters, and the maximum is 115 meters. The scheme of a minefield
installed by a self-propelled minelayer is presented in Fig. 6. Analogous problems of analysis of
graphic objects using the example of maps of the distribution of vegetation indices were solved in
relation to the identification of technological stresses in the work of N. Pasichnyk et al (2021) in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref27">28</xref>
        ].
Similarly, identification technologies using neural networks can be used.

temperature corresponds to the casings, the maximum temperature corresponds to the projectile,

Object recognition stands out as one of the most common applications in the field of computer
vision. Researchers have invested considerable effort in improving object recognition over the years.
It is important to understand the different types of object recognition tasks, as the required neural
network architecture is highly task dependent. Object recognition tasks can generally be divided into
three main types:
1. Classification of images.
2. Detection of objects.
3. Segmentation of instances.</p>
      <p>In the object detection task, images are used to train the network, and the model must establish where
the objects are by drawing boxes around them. This is like a more advanced version of image
classification. Instead of assuming that there is only one object in the image, the model is able to take
into account that there may be many different objects. Therefore, the network needs to detect and draw
the contours of each object in the image. This task is difficult for algorithmization and software writing,
but it can be solved with the help of neural networks, which have already been applied to similar tasks
and coped with them quite effectively. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) successfully coped with
this task, along with the necessary optimization of their settings or the task of variable images, or
refinement of training parameters. Convolutional neural networks work by specifying potential regions
where objects might be, and then using a trained model to determine which objects are within each
region, i.e., which categories are most likely for each. For the purpose of training such a network, mine
location schemes according to Fig. 6 were used, the probable distance between objects in the range of
35-50 m and the search for objects in the direction of propagation at an angle of 180° were also set.
Figure 7 shows a fragment of data for training the network. To train and test the network, the Python
language, the TensorFlow library, which makes it easy to build and train neural networks, was used. Part
of the network training code is shown in Fig. 8. As a result of network testing, object identification
accuracy was obtained at the level of 88%, which suggests the possibility of applying this approach to
the task of identifying potentially dangerous objects on humanitarian land plots. The structure of the
network is shown in fig. 9. From the given values of the network before and after optimization, an
improvement in the search for objects can be seen (Fig. 9a and Fig. 9b).</p>
      <p>
        It should be noted that the research described in this article can be applied in robotic demining
complexes described in [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref28 ref29">29, 30</xref>
        ].
5. Conclusions
      </p>
      <p>1. Identification of minefields laid out on the surface of the earth by thermal imaging means for the
needs of humanitarian demining is possible.
2. During thermal imaging monitoring of mines and projectiles, the presence of random metal
objects, such as shell casings of caliber up to 30 mm, does not create significant obstacles for
monitoring.</p>
      <p>3. Identification of mines by thermal imaging means is possible only in clear weather, buried
munitions are fixed only by indirect signs due to unevenness of the ground.</p>
      <p>4. The use of convolutional neural networks has certain prospects for detecting potential locations
of mines and explosive devices, and can be useful in the problem of humanitarian demining.</p>
      <p>5. The accuracy of identifying such objects according to network testing is 88%, which is a
confirmation of the possibility of the combined use of thermal imaging and a neural network.</p>
