Remote Detection of the Movement Direction of Ferromagnetic Materials by Magnetic Anomaly

Presently, the methods of remote detection through magnetic anomaly have been gradually gaining importance in applications for industrial purposes and defense technologies. The aim of this paper is, by means of magnetic anomaly observation, to remotely sense and determine the direction of motion of moving objects produced from ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt. With a computer controlled scanner system devised for the research, objects in motion have been modeled as prototypes and magnetic measurements implemented by a variety of sensors. In this paper are also discussed the system developed and the findings.
