Metal detector expert

Taking into account that there are also some mines that do not have regular shape, the RMA is analyzing possibilities of recognition of arbitrary shapes [17]. Furthermore, in the case of metal detector and plastic mines, just a small metallic part inside such a mine (e.g. fuze) will be detected, and their shape does not have to be elliptical. An example is given on fig.(26) below, where detection of X shape is performed.
