Abstract
We used Linear Genetic Programming (LGP) to study the
extent to which automated learning techniques may be
used to improve Unexploded Ordinance (UXO)
discrimination from Protem-47 and Geonics EM61
non-invasive electromagnetic sensors. We conclude that:
(1) Even after geophysicists have analysed the EM61
signals and ranked anomalies in order of the likelihood
that each comprises UXO, our LGP tool was able to
substantially improve the discrimination of UXO from
scrap preexisting techniques require digging 62percent
more holes to locate all UXO on a range than do LGP
derived models; (2) LGP can improve discrimination even
though trained on a very small number of examples of
UXO; and (3) LGP can improve UXO discrimination on data
sets that contain a high-level of noise and little
preprocessing.
