Handheld Sensor for UXO Discrimination:

Abstract

The objective of the demonstration was to show that by following proper data collection protocols and using physics-based post-processing, the EM61-HH handheld metal detector can be used in a cued identification mode to reliably discriminate between buried UXO and clutter. Results of controlled test-stand measurements had indicated that 95% of detected UXO could be correctly identified as UXO, while 74% of the clutter items could be correctly classified as not UXO. In the field demonstration, the corresponding performance levels were reduced to 83% and 49%, respectively [3].
