Explosive detection using ultrasonic waves

Abstract

The aim of this project is to develop a system that will be capable of detecting explosives/metal detection from a remote distance; this system would be installed on security checkpoints and walkthrough security points. By the help of ultrasonic sensor the sensor will extract the signal and MATLAB will be used for signal processing and classification algorithm. The ability of this system will surpass the prior technology of detecting metals that is by electromagnetic interference. Hence allowing the user to remotely scan the subject from a safe distance without any close contact and enabling the security personal to maintain a distance with the suspect. This allows a crucial small time window in which a security measure can be initiated to ensure the safety.
