Three-dimensional object location and inversion of the magnetic polarizability tensor at a single frequency using a walk-through metal detector
This paper demonstrates measurement of the fundamental electromagnetic polarisability tensor components and 3D object trajectory (to centimetres) in virtual real time to improve object discrimination and location in metal detection and offer a route to identification. Application of the work is proceeding in three areas: on security scanners with Tampere University of Technology (contact details available) and Rapiscan Systems (contact details available); on food scanners with Safeline Ltd (contact details available); and on de-mining with the charity ‘Find a Better Way’ (http://www.findabetterway.org.uk/), of which author Peyton is a member of the Scientific and Users Advisory Panel.
