| dc.description.abstract | Landmines could be identified as
affordable and effective defensive weapon, but
it has many complexities. Human deaths and
injuries, agricultural land degradation,
destruction to infrastructure, environmental
destruction, economic cost for demining
humanitarian aid and etc. Those complexities
cause due to the unconventional landmine
fields which could be find it difficult to demine.
To avoid that, landmines had to be laid
according to universally accepted methods in
a standard pattern. As per the International
agreements, Sri Lankan security forces also
follow the standards in warfare. But their data
recording mechanism is manual and not
efficient.The objective of this study is to
introduce a new system to record positions of
landmine data in digital format. The design of
this research was accomplished in three
stages, identification of current practice of
data recording, develop the computer
program to generate locations of landmines
and data visualization and analysis using the
result of the computer program. Therefore,
through reviewing existing mechanism, lapses
of existing system could be identified. By
developing a computer program we could be
able to auto-generate locations of each
landmine on a landmine pattern by two initial
inputs. Matlab has been used to develop the
program which is a very powerful platform.
Qgis is a highly demanded spatial data
manipulating system, which is utilized in the
visualization and analysis of data. The
proposed system will be more convenient,
efficient, effective, and accurate system that
will avoid the malpractices of recording
landmines. | en_US |
