What are plastic landmines, and can AI help detect it? Researchers develop AI method to identify hidden explosives using drones

A new study explains how researchers developed a machine-learning system that uses drones and AI to detect plastic landmines that are difficult to find with standard equipment. The technique focuses on scatterable PFM-1 mines and aims to support humanitarian demining operations by improving early surveys, reducing risks, and helping trained teams locate suspected hazardous areas more efficiently.
