Acoustic-to-Seismic Landmine Detection Using a Continuously Scanning Laser Doppler Vibrometer
نویسنده
چکیده
A single beam laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) has been used in acoustic-to-seismic landmine detection in a stop-andstare scanning mode [Sabatier, J. M. and Xiang, N. IEEE Trans. Geoscience and Remote Sensing 39, 2001, pp.11461154.; Xiang, N. and Sabatier, J. M., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 113, Mar. 2003]. One of the major requirements is the operational scanning speed in the acoustic detection methods. To increase the operational speed, the LDV must move continuously along the ground. An initial effort has demonstrated the feasibility of continuously scanning the ground by controlling the mirrors in a scanning laser vibrometer [Valeau et al., Development of a time-frequency representation for acoustic detection of buried objects, J. Acoust. Soc. Am., 2003 (submitted).]. A continuously scanning LDV on a stationary platform has been employed. This work will discuss systematic investigations using a continuously scanning LDV to obtain field data in Army test lanes.

Model for continuously scanning ultrasound vibrometer sensing displacements of randomly rough vibrating surfaces.
An analytic model is developed for the time-dependent ultrasound field reflected off a randomly rough vibrating surface for a continuously scanning ultrasound vibrometer system in bistatic configuration. Kirchhoff's approximation to Green's theorem is applied to model the three-dimensional scattering interaction of the ultrasound wave field with the vibrating rough surface. The model incorporat...
متن کاملDevelopment of a time-frequency representation for acoustic detection of buried objects
A recently developed apparatus permits the detection of buried objects, such as landmines, by remotely sensing the variations of ground vibration that occur over the buried object with a laser Doppler vibrometer ~LDV!, when the ground is insonified by means of acoustic-to-seismic coupling. As it is currently implemented, the LDV scans individual points on the ground. The technique shows much pr...
متن کاملAn investigation of acoustic-to-seismic coupling to detect buried antitank landmines
When an acoustic wave strikes the ground surface, energy is coupled into the motion of the fluid/solid frame comprising the ground. This phenomenon is termed acoustic-to-seismic (A/S) coupling. In the ground, the Biot Type II or Biot slow waves travel with a speed well below the speed of sound in air. The porous nature of the ground causes the entering acoustic wave to bend toward the normal an...
متن کاملLand mine detection measurements using acoustic-to-seismic coupling
During the early 1980s, the phenomenon of acoustic-to-seismic coupling was used to detect buried objects or mines. In these early measurements, large 2 Hz geophones measured the low frequency (50-300 Hz) normal component of the soil particle velocity over buried targets. Several different, naturally-occurring ground types were studied in these measurements, including grass-covered ground; bare,...
