This paper is concerned with the problem of target geo- location when using forward-looking vehicular-mounted sensors for landmine detection. Intermediate and downward- looking sensor may also be used, but the geo-location problem is most complex for the forward-looking sensor. A nonlinear states model for the vehicle position and attitude. Knowledge of these sensors specifications along with information as to the location and orientation of the sensor on the vehicle combined with knowledge of the vehicle position and attitude make it possible for one to compte the sensor field-of-view or footprint. Given this, one can then analyze sensor frames and for any detected mines, convert their locations from sensor-frame coordinates to ground coordinates.
