Duke Demining MURI
1996-2001
Duke University led a multi-disciplinary university
research initiative (MURI) dedicated to developing new phenomenological
understanding and associated signal processing algorithms for sensing land
mines. The research was funded by the US Director of
Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E) and managed by Dr. James Harvey of
the US Army Research Office. Lawrence Carin of Duke served as the program’s principal investigator.
