Magnetic & Acoustic localisation/identification

Wireless localisation systems aim at finging the 1D, 3D or even 6D positions of one or several objects in a defined detection space. SONAR technique is well known and is applied for example in ultrasonic Non Destructive Testing for localisation of damages.These and other localisation techniques are being developed by CEDRAT using acoustic or magnetic fields.

Typical new applications are:

  • underground urban pipes localisation based on accoustic detection
  • particles or object localisation, based on magnetic detection
  • object localisation and indentification using tags based on Magnetic Resonant Sensors
  • 6D localisation for Computed Assisted Medical Interventions in surgery and robotics ...
