Modeling the Response of Electromagnetic Induction Sensors to Inhomogeneous Magnetic Soils With Arbitrary Relief

A general model to compute the response of an electromagnetic induction sensor to a magnetic soil, in both time and frequency domains, is developed. The model requires modest computational resources and can be applied to arbitrary soil inhomogeneities and relief, and to arbitrary sensor coil shapes, orientations, and positions. Central to the model is the concept of a head sensitivity map, which c...
