N2 - Dual Sensor ALIS is a combination of EMI sensor and GPR. It is a handheld sensor, working at 800 MHz-3 Gz. The sensor position is estimated by an accelerometer, and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Processing is applied to the GPR data sets on an Android tablet PC to obtain 3-D subsurface images. ALIS was evaluated in test site of Cambodian Mine Action center (CMAC) and we demonstrated that it can image buried landmines in almost real time, under the realistic conditions. Anti-personnel mines including PMN-2 and Type 72 buried up to 20cm were clearly imaged. Then we conducted fundamental evaluation test in Colombia, where most of the mines are "handmade" and contain much less metal compared to other mines. We demonstrated that ALIS GPR can image these non-metal mines.
