An external field response distribution visualization device includes: an induction circuit that induces a first field component from each of induction positions; a sensor that senses a field strength at sensing positions for each of the induction positions; and an information processing circuit that generates an image showing an external field response distribution. The information processing circuit: calculates, using the sensing result as a boundary condition, an induction position dependent field function that takes an induction and sensing positions as inputs and outputs the field strength; calculates an imaging function that takes an imaging target position as an input and outputs an image intensity, and is defined based on the strength output from the induction position dependent field function in response to inputting the imaging target position; and generates the image based on the imaging function.

A magnetic response distribution visualization device includes: an induction circuit that induces a magnetic field component from outside a moving object; a sensor that senses a strength and a phase of the magnetic field at a plurality of points in times outside the moving object; and an information processing circuit that, based on a sensing result of the strength and the phase, a moving speed of the moving object, and a fundamental equation for magnetic fields, calculates a strength and a phase of the magnetic field at a vicinal position closer to the moving object than the sensor, and generates, based on a calculation result of the strength and the phase, a magnetic response distribution image for security inspection that shows a distribution of a response of the moving object to the magnetic field component induced by the induction circuit.
