Abstract

Magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) is to find hidden ferromagnetic objects, and a hidden object is often described as a magnetostatic dipole. Many detection methods are based on the orthonormal basis functions when the target moves along a straight line relatively to the magnetometer. A new kind of parabolic trail orthonormal basis functions (PTOBF) method is proposed to detect the magnetic target when the trajectory of the target is parabola. The simulation experiment confirms that the proposed method can detect the magnetic anomaly signals in white Gaussian noise when SNR is -15.56 dB. The proposed method is sensitive to the characteristic time and curvature. High detection probability and simple implementation of proposed method make it attractive for the real-time applications.
