Abstract
The rapid development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) leads to expand the application of such technologies in various fields. The detection and mapping of landmines are one of the challenging and critical areas. The provision of efficient airborne detection technologies will save the lives of thousands of civilians and even workers involved in such dangerous missions. The objective of this paper is to provide a brief review of the state-of-the-art airborne landmine detection studies for researchers to further explore. We have also proposed a promising direction for future research towards a reliable, efficient, and integrated UAV-based landmine detection system.
