Full Tensor Eigenvector Analysis on Air-Borne Magnetic Gradiometer Data for the Detection of Dipole-Like Magnetic Sources

The detection of dipole-like sources, such as unexploded ordnances (UXO) and other metallic objects, based on a magnetic gradiometer system, has been increasingly applied in recent years. In this paper, a novel dipole-like source detection algorithm, based on eigenvector analysis with magnetic gradient tensor data interpretation is presented. Firstly, the theoretical basis of the eigenvector de...

Sonar Detection and Classification of Underwater UXO and Environmental Parameters

Objective: The objective of the current research is to work towards resolving issues that affect sonar detection and classification/identification (C/ID) of underwater UXO using sonar. Background: Based on extensive assessments of other sensor technologies carried out at NSWC PCD for underwater Navy applications, sonar is expected to play an indispensible role in underwater UXO remediation. Aco...
