Abstract
A method for detection of on-ground or near-ground discrete objects having characteristic features from terrain height data characterizing a search area comprising the steps of: processing the terrain height data to form a regular grid containing elevation and slope data at each grid point; and analyzing said gridded terrain height data to identify said on-ground or near-ground discrete objects within said search area.
