Abstract
a device and a method are disclosed to detect obstructed objects, usually behind a wall or other similar surface. The device may be used by dragging it across the surface of the wall to scan, detect and display the objects behind the wall. The types of hidden objects and materials they are made of vary and may include wooden or metal studs used in building construction, electrical AC or DC wires and conduits, metal rebar and the like. Each type of material may need a different type of sensor to be detected. In some examples, the device may include memory to record the objects detected and display them on the screen in a persistent manner. The objects may be displayed via graphics that are similar to the real objects that were detected. In effect, the device may display a picture of what is hidden behind the wall.
