Abstract :
Preliminary results on using electromagnetic imaging for early detection of spoilage and the monitoring of stored grain are presented. A full vectorial 3D electromagnetic imaging system to detect grain spoilage inside a silo is being developed. The generic configuration of this system is described, and results based on synthetically generated data are presented.
