Evaluation of a Commercial Visualizing Metal Detector for UXO/Mine Detection: the HILTI Ferroscan System
نویسنده
چکیده
We will report on first tests of a commercial “imaging metal detector” aimed at trying to assess its potentialities and understand in a broader sense if such systems, possibly in a modified form, could be useful to tackle some aspects of the UXO/mine detection problem. The latter include the detection of shallowly buried Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) (e.g. in Laos) or non minimum-metal mines such as the Russian PMN and

Metal Detectors in Civil Engineering and Humanitarian Demining: Overview and Tests of a Commercial Visualizing System
After a brief introduction to Humanitarian Demining we will review the basic principles of the electromagnetic detection of metallic objects, especially induction devices (“metal detectors”), and see how they are applied in Humanitarian Demining and Civil Engineering, with emphasis on visualization techniques. We will then report on tests of a commercial “imaging metal detector” aimed at trying...
متن کاملALIS evaluation tests in Croatia
Tohoku University, Japan is developing a new hand-held land mine detection dual-sensor (ALIS) which is equipped with a metal detector and a GPR. ALIS is equipped with a sensor tracking system, which can record the GPR and Metal detector signal with its location. The Migration processing drastically increases the quality of the imaging of the buried objects.Evaluation test of ALIS has been condu...
متن کاملAN-EUL method for automatic interpretation of potential field data in unexploded ordnances (UXO) detection
We have applied an automatic interpretation method of potential data called AN-EUL in unexploded ordnance (UXO) prospective which is indeed a combination of the analytic signal and the Euler deconvolution approaches. The method can be applied for both magnetic and gravity data as well for gradient surveys based upon the concept of the structural index (SI) of a potential anomaly which is relate...
متن کاملEnhancing magnetic signals in unexploded ordnances (UXO) detection based on edge-preserved stable downward continuation method
This paper describes an efficient edge-preserved regularization algorithm for downward continuation of magnetic data in detection of unexploded ordnance (UXO). The magnetic anomalies arising from multi-source UXO can overlap at a height over the ground surface, while causative sources may not be readily separated due to low level of signal-to-noise ratio of the observed data. To effectively the...
متن کاملMatched neural filters for EMI based mine detection
Remedial mine detection and the detection of unexploded ordnance (UXO) have become very important for humanitarian reasons. This paper addresses mine detection using commonly used Electromagnetic Induction sensors. We propose and evaluate two neural network approaches to mine detection which provide a robust non-parametric technique, based on training the networks using data from a previously c...
