Edge detection and edge enhancement techniques play an essential role in interpreting potential field data. This paper describes the application of various edge detection techniques to gravity data in order to delineate the edges of subsurface structures. The edge detection methods comprise analytic signal, total horizontal derivative (THDR), theta angle, tilt angle, hyperbolic of tilt angle (H...

We introduce a combination of high-dimensional analysis of variance (HANOVA) and sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) to detect buried objects from an array ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveying a region of interest in a progressive manner. Using HANOVA, we exploit the transient characteristic of GPR signals in the time domain to extract information about buried objects at xed positions ...

Over the past several years, considerable resources have been expended to develop sensors capable of detecting buried landmines by sensing the vapors evolving through the soil and into the air above the mines. An effort was also made to characterize the vapor signatures of buried mines. This was done to provide the sensor developers with information on the qualitative and quantitative nature of...

A recently developed technique, polarimetric radar interferometry, is applied to tackle the problem of the detection of buried objects embedded in surface clutter. An experiment with a fully polarimetric radar in an anechoic chamber has been carried out using different frequency bands and baselines. The processed results show the ability of this technique to detect buried plastic mines and to m...

Landmine problem is enormous and worldwide. Impulse ground penetrating radar (ImGPR) is one of the technologies that have been extensively researched as a means of improving landmine detection efficiency. We propose two methods to detect buried landmines. Both methods are based on background subtraction techniques to detect buried plastic landmines. The first method uses adaptive background est...

An inverse scattering problem of time-harmonic chiral electromagnetic waves for a buried partially coated object was studied. The embedded in piecewise isotropic homogeneous background material. On the boundary object, total field satisfied perfect conductor and impedance conditions. A modified linear sampling method, which originated from reciprocity gap functional, employed reconstruction sha...
