Figure 8. Image of a large metal object.

Figure 8

Two dimensional plots correspond to the images on the skin, where it was cut through the ventral intersection with the saggital plane, stretched perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis, to cover a rectangle. The horizontal scale corresponds to the distance in cm from the frontal tip along the skin through the horizontal plane. Top: Images generated on the skin of MoGO by a 2 by 5 cm cylinder placed almost parallel to the lateral skin at different instances of the EOD corresponding to the peaks of the four main components. Top Row: images, at the head and trunk regions, of the basal currents for each wave. Bottom Row: the electric image (at the same region) as the difference between currents with and without the cylinder. Bottom Left: RMS image of MoGO's body. Bottom Right: Longitudinal profile of the gradient of the RMS electric image showing two peaks signaling the position of the edges of the object. Inset: 2D mapping of the gradient of the RMS image shows the correlation between high gradient and the edges of the object.
