ANN-based sub-surface monitoring technique exploiting electromagnetic features extracted by GPR signals

چکیده
In this work we consider the problem of determining the dielectric characteristics of sub-surface layers by means of GPR systems. In particular, a suitable electromagnetic feature (the R0 parameter), strictly related to the geophysical parameters of the scenario, is first extracted from the GPR e.m. signal and then fed to an artificial neural network (ANN) in order to derive the dielectric permittivity of the sub-surface layer.

Using Correlation Maps in a Wide-band Microwave Gpr
Abstract—This paper describes the use of the correlation maps in the Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for the detection of near surface objects. This method is based on the definition of bi-dimensional maps that describe the level and the nature of coherence between the received electromagnetic signals. The technique proposed provides the detection of objects, reducing the impact of the clutter a...

A classification technique using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier for detection of rolling element bearing fault is presented here. The SVM was fed from features that were extracted from of vibration signals obtained from experimental setup consisting of rotating driveline that was mounted on rolling element bearings which were run in normal and with artificially faults induced conditio...

متن کاملMulti-Feature Based Multiple Pipelines Detection Using Ground Penetration Radar
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is one of the common sensor system used for underground inspection which emits electromagnetic waves that can pass through objects. The reflecting waves are recorded and digitized, and then, the images are formed. According to the properties of scanning object, GPR creates higher or lower intensity values on the object regions. Thus, these changes in signal repres...
