  2. Magnetometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetometer

    Magnetometers can be used as metal detectors: they can detect only magnetic metals, but can detect such metals at a much greater distance than conventional metal detectors, which rely on conductivity. Magnetometers are capable of detecting large objects, such as cars, at over 10 metres (33 ft), while a conventional metal detector's range is ...

  3. Metal detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_detector

    A metal detector is an instrument that detects the nearby presence of metal. Metal detectors are useful for finding metal objects on the surface, underground, and under water. A metal detector consists of a control box, an adjustable shaft [dubious – discuss], and a variable-shaped pickup coil. When the coil nears metal, the control box ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluxgate_compass

    A fluxgate inclinometer/compass. The basic fluxgate compass is a simple electromagnetic device that employs two or more small coils of wire around a core of highly permeable magnetic material, to directly sense the direction of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field.

  6. Robinson compass mask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_Compass_Mask

    Robinson compass mask is similar to kirsch compass masks, but is simpler to implement. Since the matrix coefficients only contains 0, 1, 2, and are symmetrical, only the results of four masks [4] need to be calculated, the other four results are the negation of the first four results. An edge, or contour is an tiny area with neighboring ...

  7. Azimuth compass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth_compass

    The azimuth compass still had great value in letting the master of a ship determine how far the magnetic compass varied from true north, so he could set a more accurate course while following a line of constant latitude or using dead reckoning to navigate. In 1795 a British First Rate ship would have up to eight compasses, of which one was an ...

  8. Compass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass

    A modern military compass, with included sight device for aligning. A compass is a device that shows the cardinal directions used for navigation and geographic orientation. It commonly consists of a magnetized needle or other element, such as a compass card or compass rose, which can pivot to align itself with magnetic north.

  9. MEMS magnetic field sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEMS_magnetic_field_sensor

    A MEMS magnetic field sensor is a small-scale microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) device for detecting and measuring magnetic fields (magnetometer). Many of these operate by detecting effects of the Lorentz force: a change in voltage or resonant frequency may be measured electronically, or a mechanical displacement may be measured optically ...
