Abstract
In this article the use of remote sensing techniques to locate minefields over a number of selected areas in Zimbabwe is discussed, representing different types of landmine deployment, climatic zones, natural environments, etc. In order to detect the minefields use is made of indirect indicators as the detail of the images did not allow direct identification of landmines. The work conducted is focussing on the suitability of multi‐temporal aerial photographs and satellite images for the detection of minefields together with ancillary (conflict) information. Analysis of the images acquired showed that, even at lower spatial resolutions, but through the use of multi-temporal images, important minefield related indicators could be identified, providing important information for the mine action process. For validation of the interpretations use was made of a minefield map book that was available for these border minefields.
