Nowadays detection of the landmines is mostly based on electromagnetic induction. This method, however, is useless for the low metal containing, plastic devices. The microwave-enhanced infrared thermography, which can detect plastics as well as the explosive material itself, can be an alternative for the metal detectors. In this paper we present the theoretical foundations of this technique and some experimental methods that have been provided.
