  1. We present a magnetic camera system developed to detect ferrous or ferromagnetic objects. The main motivation is detection and tracking of underwater pipelines. Many industries, such as oil and gas, must perform inspection and maintenance of pipelines and automation is desirable. An electromagnet generates a static magnetic field which is read by an array of Hall-effect sensors. The presence of ferromagnetic materials distorts this field, which can be detected by the sensors and creates a magnetic image. The grid configuration of the camera allows for quick computation of the center of mass and general orientation of detected pipes, facilitating tracking. This camera is carried by an ROV and tested in a pool environment.
