Abstract
—In this paper, a new magnetic measurement system
is developed to determine upper surfaces of buried magnetic
materials, particularly land mines. This measurement system uses
the magnetic-anomaly-detection method. It also has intelligent
identification software based on an image matching algorithm.
It is aimed to determine and identify the buried ferromagnetic
materials with minimum energy consumption. It is concentrated
on the detection and identification of the shapes of upper sur faces of buried magnetic materials in dry and wet conditions.
The effect of humidity in the detection process for detection is
tested. In this paper, we used sensor images to identify various
ferromagnetic materials and similar objects. Sensor images of soils
at various humidities covering the objects were obtained. We used
the speeded-up-feature-transform algorithm in the comparison
process of the images. Dry soil sample images match with the
corresponding wet soil samples with the highest matching rate.
The images for different objects can easily be distinguished by the
matching process.
