arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 1, 2026 · UTC

Unexploded ordnance (UXO) continues to restrict civilian access, agricultural activity, infrastructure recovery, and environmental remediation in contaminated areas around the world. This study created a multi campaign UAV thermal image data set of inert ordnance, developed a labeled image set from collected imagery, tested object detection models, and identified practical considerations for humanitarian mine action and demining applications. Data were collected during four field campaigns in Tennessee under summer and winter conditions using inert mines, munitions, and other ordnance placed i
