Advanced EMI Models for Live-site UXO Discrimination at Former Camp Beale

Abstract

This demonstration report is designed to illustrate the discrimination performance at an actual UXO live-site of a set of advanced models for the analysis and inversion of electromagnetic induction (EMI) data that go far beyond the popular but often inadequate simple dipole scheme. The suite of methods, which combines the orthonormalized volume magnetic source (ONVMS) model, a data-preprocessing technique based on joint diagonalization (JD), and differential evolution (DE) minimization, among others, was tested at the former Camp Beale in California. The partially wooded site is contaminated with a mix of 37-mm, 60-mm, 81-mm, and 105-mm munitions, as well as complete and partial fuzes. For brevity we abstain from repeating demonstration- and site-specific information already presented elsewhere; the interested reader may turn to the ESTCP Live Site Demonstration Plan [1] and similar documents for enlightenment on these topics.
