Abstract

Patente de Invenção: "SISTEMA DE FORMAçãO DE IMAGEM PARA DETECçãO DE OBJETOS SUBTERRâNEOS E SUMARINOS E MéTODO ASSOCIADO". Método para detectar objetos escondidos utiliza uma pluralidade de transdutores eletromecânicos, incluindo pelo menos um gerador de ondas de pressão eletroacústico e pelo menos um sensor acusticoelétrico acima de uma superfície terrestre ou marinha selecionada ou uma superfície de um objeto localizada embaixo da terra ou embaixo d'água. Conseq³entemente, o método é útil para detectar objetos subterrâneos ou submarinos. De acordo com o método, as localizações dos transdutores em relação um ao outro são determinadas, o gerador de ondas de pressão é energizado para produzir uma onda de pressão de saída e a onda de pressão de saída é transmitida através da superfície selecionada. As ondas de pressão de entrada são detectadas, as quais são refletidas por superfícies escondidas, em geral, abaixo da superfície selecionada em resposta à onda de pressão de saída. As ondas de pressão de entrada são analisadas para determinar as formas tridimensionais de objetos escondidos dispostos abaixo da superfície selecionada, quer embaixo da terra ou embaixo d'água. Várias vistas dos objetos escondidos podem ser expostas em um monitor de vídeo.Invention Patent: "IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM FOR DETECTION OF UNDERGROUND AND SUMARINE OBJECTS AND ASSOCIATED METHOD". Method for detecting hidden objects uses a plurality of electromechanical transducers, including at least one electroacoustic pressure wave generator and at least one acoustic-electric sensor above a selected terrestrial or marine surface or an object surface located below or below the ground. Water. Consequently, the method is useful for detecting underground or submarine objects. According to the method, the locations of the transducers in relation to each other are determined, the pressure wave generator is energized to produce an output pressure wave and the output pressure wave is transmitted across the selected surface. Incoming pressure waves are detected, which are reflected by hidden surfaces, usually below the selected surface in response to the outgoing pressure wave. The incoming pressure waves are analyzed to determine the three-dimensional shapes of hidden objects arranged below the selected surface, either underground or underwater. Various views of the hidden objects can be exposed on a video monitor.
