TLDR
In this paper, the effect of coil placement errors on detector sensitivity is investigated in a very low-frequency detector head with a bucking coil tracking the receive coil, provided that the received coil tracks the sensor head.
Abstract
Metal-detector performance depends heavily on the sensor head. Errors in coil placement within the head can lead to degradation in detector performance. Electromagnetic modelling of typical very-low-frequency detector heads shows the effect of coil placement errors on detector sensitivity. Provided the bucking coil ‘tracks’ the receive coil, required error corrections can remain small.

Determining the Electromagnetic Polarizability Tensors of Metal Objects During In-Line Scanning

TL;DR: The general approach to determining the tensor during in-line scanning is introduced and it is suggested that tensor inversion is possible for the 2-D raster scan, but not for a single line scan.
