ab: Summary: Research on demining includes many different aspects, and in
    particular the design of efficient and intelligent strategies for (1)
    determining regions of interest using a variety of sensors, (2)
    detecting and classifying mines, and (3) searching for mines by
    autonomous agents. This paper discusses strategies for directing
    autonomous search based on spatio-temporal distributions. We discuss a
    model for search assuming that the environment is static, except for
    the effect of identifying mine locations. Algorithms are designed and
    compared for autonomously directing a robot, in the case of a single
    search engine carrying a single sensor.
