Abstract

A new phase-based filter (called improved analytical signal (IAS)) is introduced to detect buried unexploded ordnance (UXO) precisely from magnetic fields using the arcsine function of the ratio of the first-order vertical derivative of the analytical signal to the first-order derivatives of the x-, y-, and z-components of the analytical signal. The calculations are computed in the frequency domain and then transformed back into the space domain using the inverse Fourier transform. The filter has been tested on magnetic data collected at a test site with UXO bodies of variable orientation. It was also validated on magnetic data measured at a former army artillery range in Slovakia. The results show that the IAS filter not only revealed better imaging of the UXO bodies compared to the other commonly used filters but also produced a high-resolution image with much less influence of noise.
