An experimental setup for acoustoseismic detection of shallow buried objects is presented. The seismic (Rayleigh) waves were generated by exciting an acoustic airborne source by a series of sine-wave bursts, which were designed to cover a frequency range (100–1000 Hz) large enough to distinguish the vibrational characteristics of buried compliant objects. The signals were recorded by means of contact-acceleration microelectromechanical- system sensors moved above different buried objects (compliant and rigid). Signal acquisitions on only sandy soil revealed the natural variability of the outdoor test bed. This variability of soil parameters pointed out the difficulties of buried-object detection based on the amplitude thresholding of the signal spectrum. For this aim, the signals were processed in both time and frequency domains. An audio-channel output was devised to avail of the human hearing apparatus in distinguishing the buried objects according to spatial variations of the acceleration signals obtained by scanning the soil surface.

Abstract: | An experimental setup for acoustoseismic detection of shallow buried objects is presented. The seismic (Rayleigh) waves were generated by exciting an acoustic airborne source by a series of sine-wave bursts, which were designed to cover a frequency range (100–1000 Hz) large enough to distinguish the vibrational characteristics of buried compliant objects. The signals were recorded by means of contact-acceleration microelectromechanical- system sensors moved above different buried objects (compliant and rigid). Signal acquisitions on only sandy soil revealed the natural variability of the outdoor test bed. This variability of soil parameters pointed out the difficulties of buried-object detection based on the amplitude thresholding of the signal spectrum. For this aim, the signals were processed in both time and frequency domains. An audio-channel output was devised to avail of the human hearing apparatus in distinguishing the buried objects according to spatial variations of the acceleration signals obtained by scanning the soil surface. | |
