Embedded iron object detection using asynchronous full wave envelope detector technique in ground penetrating radar system

Ground Penetrating Radar Image Preprocessing for Embedded Object in Media

The detection of embedded object from ground penetrating radar GPR imagery is our goal. The GPR image is a cross sectional slices. The embedded objects are metal and/or plastic type. This research has many real world applications such as remote sensing, geology, medicine and civil. The proposed method starts with two dimensional 2D image preprocessing for each slice. The preprocessing involves ...

Uxo Detection at Jefferson Proving Ground Using Ground-penetrating Radar

We have used ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to detect UXO and non-ordnance on the 40-acre site (lot 54) of Jefferson Proving Ground, Indiana. The UXO are buried within about 1 m deep in a clayey silt for which the soil water content ranged from moist near the surface to near saturation at about 1 m. We used a 16-bit radar to profile along previously established lines, and transects over artific...

Automated Rebar Detection for Ground-Penetrating Radar

Automated rebar detection in images from groundpenetrating radar (GPR) is a challenging problem and difficult to perform in real-time as a result of relatively low contrast images and the size of the images. This paper presents a rebar localization algorithm, which can accurately locate the pixel locations of rebar within a GPR scan image. The proposed algorithm uses image classification and st...

Real-Time Vehicle-Mounted Multistatic Ground Penetrating Radar Imaging System for Buried Object Detection

Multi-feature Based Detection of Landmines Using Ground Penetrating Radar

In this paper, we present a method for detecting antitank or anti-personnel landmines buried in the ground. A set of data generated by a ground penetrating radar is processed to remove the surface reflection and clutter, yielding signals for possible landmines. In order to detect landmines in the signals, features are computed and compared against a database, which contains those of various lan...
