Abstract

We describe an automatic procedure for building risk maps of unexploded ordnances (UXO) based on historic air photographs. The system is based on a cost-sensitive version of AdaBoost regularized by hard point shaving techniques, and integrated by spatial smoothing. The result is a map of the spatial density of craters, an indicator of UXO risk.
