Georgia Institute of Technology has built a test facility to evaluate mine detectors.
"We built this facility to aid in the development of advanced electromagnetic induction sensors and associated detection algorithms, mainly because little was known about how the signals collected by these sensors from land mines changed when the mines were buried underground at odd angles," said Professor Waymond Scott, of Georgia Tech's school of electrical engineering.
The rig has five computer-controlled axes - three translational stages and two rotational stages - and one manual axis.
The researchers also plan to improve the processing algorithms to help characterise complicated targets and refine the detection and discrimination methods.
