摘要 |
The invention provides a ground sensing system (10) comprising: sensing means (19) located, in use, on a projectile being driven through ground by means of apparatus having a self adjustment between a vibration mode and a vibro-impact mode according to encountered ground resistance, the sensing means sensing the dynamic resistance of the ground that the projectile is passing through; signal processing means for processing the output of said sensing means to provide a dynamic resistance waveform (106); and waveform recognition means (108) for correlating said dynamic resistance waveform with stored dynamic waveforms for identifying a ground characteristic. The waveform recognition means may comprise a neural network system. |
