A Unified Approach to the Processing and Fusion of Time and Frequency Domain EMI Data for UXO Discrimination

Abstract

The problem of detecting and classify buried objects situ electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensing technologies has received considerable attention in recent years in a range of application areas including unexploded ordinance (UXO) and landmine remediation. In the last decade or so, considerable advances have been made in the area of EMI instrumentation yielding sensors capable of providing data both in the time and frequency domains which convey far more information concerning the structure of buried objects than is the case with older metal detectors.
