Advanced Inversion Techniques for Ground Penetrating Radar
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems are nowadays standard inspection tools in several application areas, such as subsurface prospecting, civil engineering and cultural heritage monitoring. Usually, the raw output of GPR is provided as a B-scan, which has to be further processed in order to extract the needed information about the inspected scene. In this framework, inverse-scattering-based approaches are gaining an ever-increasing interest, thanks to their capabilities of directly providing images of the physical and dielectric properties of the investigated areas. In this paper, some advances in the development of such inversion techniques in the GPR field are revised and discussed. Keywords—electromagnetic scattering, Ground Penetrating Radar, inverse problems.

Frequency Domain Gpr Signal Forward and Inverse Modelling for Identifying the Subsurface Dielectric Properties
Research has focused on the development of a new integrated approach including ground penetrating radar (GPR) design, GPR signal forward modelling, and GPR signal inversion to estimate the dielectric permittivity and electric conductivity of the shallow subsurface. We propose to use an ultrawide band (UWB) stepped frequency continuous wave (SFCW) radar combined with an offground monostatic tran...

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is an efficient method for soil moisture mapping at the field scale, bridging the scale gap between small-scale invasive sensors and large-scale remote sensing instruments. Nevertheless, commonly-used GPR approaches for soil moisture characterization suffer from several limitations and the determination of the uncertainties in GPR soil moisture sensing has been po...
متن کاملAdvanced Ground Penetrating Radar Signal Processing Techniques
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-destructive geophysical method that uses electromagnetic waves to image the subsurface. A typical GPR system has three main components: transmitter and receiver, directly connected to the transmitting and receiving antennas, and a control unit. Electromagnetic pulses are transmitted into the subsurface and the earth response is recorded. The GPR method is...

متن کاملElectromagnetic inversion in monostatic ground penetrating radar: TEM horn calibration and application
A comprehensive analysis of electromagnetic (EM) inversion applied to pavement profiling by using a monostatic ground penetrating radar (GPR) is presented. Since in GPR systems using transfers EM (TEM) horns, the antenna is positioned close to the the investigated medium and a strong EM interaction occurs. This effect is taken into account by modeling the antenna with equivalent sources placed ...
