Abstract

As part of the development of a multisensors handheld system for landmines detection, the need for having available an easy-to-use offline tool appeared, in order to visualise and perform a quick analysis of measured data. The Quick Look Facilities (QLF) tool is a convenient graphic interface which allows such basic tasks as detailed analysis of data and performance evaluation of processing algorithms implemented in the real system. This tool present the opportunity of an off-line replay of all processings which are run in real time by the handheld system. As changes of main parameters value of the processing algorithms are easy-to-make, optimisation of these algorithms can be realised. Moreover, because of its evolutionary ability, the QLF tool can be used for performance evaluation, on acquired data, of new processing algorithms before their implementation in the real system. The QLF tool was developed with Matlab 5.2 [l] and the Matlab Graphic User Interface (GUI) (2).

Keywords
