Abstract:
Portable locators for detecting buried objects and determining information therefrom based on sensing electromagnetic emissions are disclosed. In one implementation, a portable locator may include a magnetic field sensor array and associated signal processing circuitry to detect and determine information associated with the buried object, as well as a camera and image or video processing circuitry to process images or video received from the camera in conjunction with the buried object detection.
