description Location and characterization of a buried target from its electromagnetic induction response is a key problem for unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection. This article focuses on the influence of target size, depth, and orientation on its location and characterization on the basis of single dipole model with differential evolution (DE) algorithm against data collected by a portable transient electromagnetic (TEM) system. The sensor of the portable TEM system is composed of a single-layer transmitting coil and five three-component receiving coils. The diameter and current of transmitting coil are 0.5 m and 5 A.
