There is provided an object scanning apparatus. The object scanning apparatus may include a THz source emitting a THz beam; an optical system for directing the THz beam; a zone for inspecting objects wherein the optical beam interacts with the object; a motion device for changing the spatial or temporal interaction of the object and optical beam; at least one transducer, the at least one transducer including an imaging transducer for converting the optical beam energy after interaction with the object to an electronic image; and a processor for performing processing of the image for use in characterization of the object or its interior contents or composition.

The present invention relates to a ground subsidence detection apparatus, which is capable of continuous detection of ground subsidence, predicts the occurrence of sinkholes and thus can preemptively prevent a sinkhole from forming, and due to having a simple structure, can increase durability and reduce cost. Provided is a ground subsidence detection apparatus exhibiting an alarm color using reflection of a light source and a detection weight, which, without using a separate power source, falls due to gravity in the event of cavity formation in the ground, or falls due to ground movement when ground movement occurs.
