On the Feasibility of the Linear Sampling Method for 3d Gpr Surveys

چکیده
We discuss the applicability of the Linear Sampling Method (LSM) to GPR surveys carried out using array-based configurations. Since the images achieved via LSM are known to get worse when using a small number of antennas and a limited aperture, we introduce an analytic tool to foresee the expected LSM performance for a fixed array size and number of antennas. Notably, such a tool allows us to support (and appraise) the adoption of LSM to data collected with short arrays moved above the investigated domain, which is the configuration most viable in applications.

“Equivalent Linear Composition” as an Efficient Stratification Factor in Multipurpose Surveys
Horticulture survey is a multi-purpose survey which is conducted ad hoc by Statistical Center of Iran (SCI). Availability of survey variables in the sampling frame suggests a multivariate stratification in each province based on its desired variables for acquiring a higher efficiency. There are several ways to stratify the sampling frame considering all stratification variables, such as using s...

متن کاملApplication of visual surveys to estimate acorn production of Brant`s oak (Quercus brantii Lindl.) in northern Zagros Forests of Iran
Acorn production plays a fundamental role in the organization and dynamics of oak forest ecosystems. Regarding acorn importance, visual survey methods have been used to estimate acorn production of oak species throughout the world. In this study, the mast indices of Brant`s oak (Quercus brantii Lindl.) were determined in a section of northern Zagros forests, almost 36 ha area, near Baneh, Kurdi...
متن کاملAn infeasible interior-point method for the $P*$-matrix linear complementarity problem based on a trigonometric kernel function with full-Newton step
An infeasible interior-point algorithm for solving the$P_*$-matrix linear complementarity problem based on a kernelfunction with trigonometric barrier term is analyzed. Each (main)iteration of the algorithm consists of a feasibility step andseveral centrality steps, whose feasibility step is induced by atrigonometric kernel function. The complexity result coincides withthe best result for infea...
متن کاملHigh-speed, Dual-polarization Method of Ground Penetrating Radar Bridge Deck Evaluation
Traditional GPR Surveys. High-speed GPR surveys have been performed for many years to map the condition of aging bridge deck structures. Most often, one or more 1.0 GHz horn antennas are driven along unique survey paths spaced anywhere from 3 to 4ft apart—and 2 to 3 GPR scans are collected along every linear foot of the deck surface that is being sampled. Surface dielectric properties, signal a...
