Many parts of the world have anti personnel (AP) landmines (APLs) buried in their earth, which pose a great deal not only to fighting forces, but also to civilians. For any imaging system, detection of APLs is non trivial since APLs are typically relatively small, compact objects that are buried in a similarly dense medium, such as earth. Improved explosive device (IED) detection may prove to have more potential than detection of APLs in view of the increasing worldwide terrorist activity. A portable APL or IED detection apparatus is thus proposed that utilized a coded aperture mask as well as a radiation source in order to detect backscatter radiation from a target area for use in assessing whether the target area includes an APL or an IED. The coded aperture mask receives the backscatter radiation and forms an image on a detector array, this formed image is deconvolved with a response matrix of the coded aperture mask in order to form a visual representation of the target area.
