Bath University has been awarded funding to further develop a new method for detecting landmines, which uses a combination of 3D cameras and metal-detecting technology. The £100,000 of funding, provided by Sir Bobby Charlton's charity Find A Better Way, was awarded via an EPSRC competition. Modern landmines are usually made from plastic, rendering traditional techniques for identifying them useless. The university team is looking to combine metal detection with new imaging technology that relies on 3D cameras, allowing for all types of landmines to be identified.
