Low Cost, Low Power Magnetic IEDs Detection Method Using Biaxial Magnetometry Digital Sensors

摘要

The magnetic improvised explosive devices(IEDs), also commonly known as a type of a sticky bomb, is simply constructed devices yet very lethal. This paper puts forward the idea of an electronic compass that is capable of sensing the change of a magnetic field generated by a magnet and translating it into interpretable data, which could act as the base for the further studies and assist in developing a greener automated system for detecting this device. The electronic compass is specifically chosen for reducing power consumption of systems in addition to the fact that it is available at a low cost.
