Mine detecting GPS-based unmanned ground vehicle

Abstract

Mines which are located on the ground have been threating not only military forces but also civilians. These threating mines are classified as wooden, plastic and metal types. In this study a detector, which is able to detect all the mines placed on the ground, has been developed. Detecting and destroying the mines on a suspicious area without personel have been possible with remote control devices. In our work we aimed to produce a GPS-based mobile prototype vehicle carrying a system which can jam electromagnetic waves to blow up the mines with a remote control. This vehicle runs on solar energy and it can be steered by simulation glasses.

Survey of computer vision algorithms and applications for unmanned aerial vehicles

“…Global Positioning System (GPS) ( Kaplan & Hegarty, 2006;Zogg, 2009 ) or the Satellite-based Navigation System (SNS) is considered as one of the most known approaches that is used with UGVs ( Abbott & Powell, 1999;Amini, Vaghefi, de la Garza, & Buehrer, 2014;Wei, Cappelle, & Ruichek, 2011;YA GIMLI & Varol, 2009;Yoon, Park, & Kim, 2006 ), UAVs ( Cho et al, 2007;Hui et al, 1998;Isaacs et al, 2014;Kim, 2004;Yun, Peng, & Chen, 2007 ) or even Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) ( Lee, Li, Hoang, & Lee, 2014a;Meldrum & Haddrell, 1994;Taraldsen, Reinen, & Berg, 2011 ) to provide the 3D position for navigation purposes.…”

A Comprehensive Review on Internet of Things (IoT) and its Implications in the Mining Industry

“…The Global Positioning System (GPS) is used in open pit mining for surveying with high accuracy of 2 cm horizontally and 3 cm vertically (National Research Council, 1992). Moreover, it improves productivity and operations safety by its applications in grading, machinery guidance, drilling, dozing, slope stability monitoring, microseismic monitoring and fleet management (Yagimli and Varol, 2009;Nieto and Dagdelen, 2003;Ghaychi Afrouz, 2020). GPS defines location and time information of any point on the surface of the Earth based on satellite navigation with clear line sight of at least four satellites.…”

Rao‐Blackwellised particle filtering for low‐cost encoder/INS/GNSS integrated vehicle navigation with wheel slipping

“…Navigation systems which have been widely used in applications for autonomous land vehicles (ALV) such as farming [1], mine detecting [2], routing [3] and mapping [4] typically rely on their own set of navigation sensors to estimate the states of the vehicles [5]. The most commonly used navigation sensors are global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers, inertial navigation system (INS) sensors and wheel encoders.…”
