통과형 금속 탐지기(Walk-through Metal Detector)는 공항 등의 장소에서 보안 검색용으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 기존의 1차원적인 통과형 금속 탐지기는 총기류와 다른 금속체를 구별하기가 힘들다는 문제점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 2차원적인 탐지가 가능한 새로운 형태의 통과형 금속 탐지기의 모델을 제시하였고, 유한요소법(FEM)을 이용해 기존 모델과 비교 검증하였다.

A coil design of pulse induction metal detectors has been described. The search coil was demonstrated by using the wire with the diameter of 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm and the dielectric plate with the $30cm{\times}30cm$ and $35cm{\times}35cm$, the time constant and the currents of the coil as the variation of the coil size and the number of coil turns was characterized. The coil parameters like the resistance, the inductance and the time constants as the variation of the diameter of the wire, the coil size and the number of coil turns were compared and analysed through the calculation and the measurement. In addition, investigating the coil currents as the variation of the input pulse width, the coil design of pulse induction metal detectors has been discussed.

We have developed a metal detector, which was made with two Hall-senors. We could detect the minute variation of terrestrial magnetism by the metal detector and the detector was handy to carry because it had been runned by a dry cell. So it will be utilized in finding ferromagnetic substances buried in the earth.

금속탐지 센서는 공항, 유물 탐지, 지뢰 탐지 등 여러 분야에서 유용하게 사용하고 있다. 하지만 기존의 금속 탐지기의 경우 탐지되어진 물체를 구분할 수 없어 사람이 직접 그 물체가 어떤 것인지 확인을 해야 한다. 만약 이 과정을 컴퓨터를 통해 처리할 수 있다면 물체가 무엇인지 확인하는 검사시간을 줄일 수 있으며, 인적자원의 낭비를 줄일 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 AMR 자기 스위치 센서를 이용하여 금속을 탐지하고, 데이터를 분석하여 탐지된 물체의 철의 함유량을 파악, 어떠한 물체인지 유추하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 이를 위해 금속 함유량이 다른 여러 물체의 데이터, 센서를 지나가는 속도에 다른 데이터, 센서와의 거리에 다른 데이터등을 측정하였고, 이를 통해 철의 함량을 구하기 위한 요소를 파악하였다.

Under the research project supported by Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), we have conducted the development of GPR systems for landmine detection. Until 2005, we have finished development of two prototype GPR systems, namely ALIS (Advanced Landmine Imaging System) and SAR-GPR (Synthetic Aperture Radar-Ground Penetrating Radar). ALIS is a novel landmine detection sensor system combined with a metal detector and GPR. This is a hand-held equipment, which has a sensor position tracking system, and can visualize the sensor output in real time. In order to achieve the sensor tracking system, ALIS needs only one CCD camera attached on the sensor handle. The CCD image is superimposed with the GPR and metal detector signal, and the detection and identification of buried targets is quite easy and reliable. Field evaluation test of ALIS was conducted in December 2004 in Afghanistan, and we demonstrated that it can detect buried antipersonnel landmines, and can also discriminate metal fragments from landmines. SAR-GPR (Synthetic Aperture Radar-Ground Penetrating Radar) is a machine mounted sensor system composed of B GPR and a metal detector. The GPR employs an array antenna for advanced signal processing for better subsurface imaging. SAR-GPR combined with synthetic aperture radar algorithm, can suppress clutter and can image buried objects in strongly inhomogeneous material. SAR-GPR is a stepped frequency radar system, whose RF component is a newly developed compact vector network analyzers. The size of the system is 30cm x 30cm x 30 cm, composed from six Vivaldi antennas and three vector network analyzers. The weight of the system is 17 kg, and it can be mounted on a robotic arm on a small unmanned vehicle. The field test of this system was carried out in March 2005 in Japan.

This paper describes the development of the ground penetrating radar (GPR) system using UWB impulse radar with 48 Channel array. GPR is an effective alternative technology to resolve th disadvantages of metal detectors. Metal detectors have a very low detection probability of non-metallic landmine and high false alarm rates caused by metallic materials under the ground. In this paper, we use the mono-cycle pulse waveform with about 600 ps pulse width to obtain high resolution landmine microwave images. In order to analyze performances of this system, we utilize indoor test facility that made up of rough sandy loam which representative Korean soil. The mimic landmine models of metal/non-metal and anti-tank/anti-personnel landmines buried in DMZ (demilitarized zone) of Korea are used to analyze the detection depth and the shape of the mines using microwave image.

Since a soldier manages a hand-held landmine detector by hands, it is necessary to develop a system that can detect the target quickly and accurately. However, the hand-held landmine detector used in Korea has a problem that it can only detect the metal mines. Therefore, it is important to solve the problem and to develop a hand-held landmine detection system suitable for the Korean environment. In this paper, we propose a hand-held landmine detection system suitable for the Korean environment using ground penetrating radar. The proposed system uses depth compensation, matched filtering, and frequency shifting filtering for preprocessing. Then, in the detection step, the system detects the target using the edge ratio. In order to evaluate the proposed system, we buried landmines in sandy loam which is most of the soil in Korea and obtained a set of ground penetrating radar data by using a hand-held landmine detector. By using the obtained data, we carried out some experiments on the size and position of the patch and the shifting frequency to find the optimal parameter values and measured the detection performance using the optimized values. Experimental results show that the proposed preprocessing algorithms are suitable for detecting all landmines at low false alarm rate and the performance of the proposed system is superior to that of previous works.

GPR is used for non-destructive investigations, ground investigations, and underground facilities exploration at construction sites. In this study, the applicability to GPR exploration of water pipes linked to Network RTK was presented. Data on the water supply pipes in the study site were acquired using GPR, and the location and depth of buried water pipes could be measured. The accuracy was evaluated from the GNSS observation performance and showed a deviation of -0.16m ~ 0.15m. This satisfied the equipment performance of the public survey work regulation, suggesting that the exploration of water pipes using GPR is possible. Because GPR does not require grounding installation, as in conventional metal pipe detectors, it will increase the efficiency of work for underground facility exploration. Exploration using GPR can acquire the location and depth of metallic and non-metallic underground facilities, so it can be utilized in the construction of a GIS system. If a comparison of the exploration characteristics is carried out, it will be possible to present various uses of underground facility exploration using GPR.
