Detection of buried landmines using Bayesian model selection

This paper discusses the technology, data and ground surface-velocity models to be used in addressing the identification/detection inference problem engendered by a recently developed acoustic landmine detection system. The landmine detection problem is formulated as a model selection problem and important aspects of computing the evidence for the models are given.
