Mines and mine-like objects are distributed throughout an area of interest. Remote sensing of the area form an aircraft yields image data that represent the superposition of electromagnetic emissions from the mines and mine-like objects. In this article we build a hierarchical statistical model for the reconstruction of mien locations given a point pattern of the superposition of mines and mine-like objects. It is shown how inference on the mine locations can be obtained using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.
