Several promising (new) technologies for the detection of mines are in development, each with its strengths and weaknesses. We would like here to stress some of the basics and provide sufficient technical references, general as well as specific, for the reader to form his own opinion, look for more material if interested and get in touch with the right persons. It is of primary importance that scientists in each discipline and deminers share their knowledge and the result of their experience and experiments in order to design and test viable solutions for humanitarian demining.
