چکیده

In this paper the focusing principle of Kirchoff migration is described. This allows the introduction of optical focusing techniques that can be used to focus migration. Three focus measures are described that are useful for optimising migration. Simple optimisation routines are implemented that model uncertainties in the migration parameters. The focus measures are then used as cost functions to be maximised. Results show that these measures are useful in optimising migration when there are uncertainties in the parameters.

2d Gpr Data Analysis of Concrete Structures Using Migration Velocity Simulation Algorithm

Ground Penetrating Radar is becoming increasingly popular to use as a non-destructive assessment method for investigating reinforced concrete structures. The large amount of data collected take significant level of experience to interpret. Ground Penetrating Radar scans of concrete produce images which are made of arc segments. The shape of each arc is determined by the shape of the object, pos...

Effects of Signal Processing and Antenna Frequency on the Geostatistical Structure of Ground-Penetrating Radar Data

Recent research has suggested that the geostatistical structure of ground-penetrating radar data may be representative of the spatial structure of hydraulic properties. However, radar images of the subsurface can change drastically with application of signal processing or by changing the signal frequency. We perform geostatistical analyses of surface radar reflection profiles in order to invest...

Subsurface Imaging using Ground-Penetrating Radar Measurements

Much work has been done toward reconstructing the electrical parameters of an unknown buried object. Many methods, and accompanying results from simulations, have been presented. Most research in the area, however, has been in developing imaging algorithms that have been tested primarily through computer simulation. This paper presents a newly constructed facility for ground-penetrating radar e...

Clutter Reduction and Object Detection in Surface Penetrating Radar

This paper addresses the problem of detecting buried objects using a surface penetrating impulse radar. A big problem is that reeections from the ground surface will obscure the often much weaker target signal. The ground reeections and the target signal are mod-eled using a very simple model. This model is used to derive a detector based on a Likelihood Ratio Test, where unknown model paramete...
