ISSN 2277 – 503X | © 2013 Bonfring Abstract--Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a nondestructive technique used for the location of objects or interfaces buried beneath the earth’s surface or located within a visually opaque structure. This research work proposes techniques for buried object discrimination for the images generated by GPR by using GPR frequency-domain spectral features. The motiv...

Passive wireless transducers are used as sensors, probed by a RADAR system. A simple way to separate the returning signal from the clutter is to delay the response, so that the clutter decays before the echoes are received. This can be achieved by introducing a fixed delay in the sensor design. Acoustic wave transducers are ideally suited as cooperative targets for passive, wireless sensing. Th...

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has recently gained a wide acceptance in the archaeological community as a method to quickly and accurately locate buried archaeological features, artifacts, and important cultural and geological strata in the near-surface. The GPR method has now become one of the primary tools for geophysical feature identification primarily because of its three-dimensional abili...

An improved simulator is presented for the simulation of an energy-efficient ground-penetrating radar (GPR) using the 2D finite-difference time-domain method in the MATLAB environment. This simulator is novel in that it improves on previous work that did not involve scanning a buried object or the intermittent sublayer beneath the ground using an energy-efficient algorithm. The present simulato...

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) application in road surface detection has been greatly developed the past few decades, which enables rapid and economical estimation of pavement thickness other physical properties non-destructive testing (NDT) non-contact (NCT). In recent years, with development microwave millimeter-wave solid-state devices digital signal processors, cost Frequency-Modulated Cont...

In this paper, principal-singular-vector utilization for modal analysis (PUMA) was adapted to perform time delay estimation on ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data by taking into account the shape of transmitted GPR signal. The super-resolution capability PUMA used separate overlapping backscattered echoes from a layered pavement structure with some embedded debondings. well-known root-MUSIC alg...

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a geophysical method that employs an electromagnetic technique. The method transmits and receives radio waves to probe the subsurface. One of the earliest successful applications was measuring ice thickness on polar ice sheets in 1960s (Knödel et al., 2007). Since then, there have been rapid developments in hardware, measurement and analysis techniques, and the...

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is an efficient and nondestructive geophysical method with great potential for detecting soil water content at the farmland scale. However, a key challenge in detection obtaining rapidly real-time. In recent years, deep learning methods have become more widespread earth sciences, making it possible to use them inversion from GPR data. this paper, we propose neural...

Measurements acquired through ground-penetrating radar (GPR) may contain missing information that needs to be recovered before the implementation of any post-processing method, such as target detection, since buried detection methods fail and cannot produce desired results if input GPR image contains information. This study proves recovery in a has direct influence on performance subsequent met...

Multimodal detection of subsurface targets such as tunnels, pipes, reinforcement bars, and structures has been investigated using both ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and seismic sensors with signal processing techniques to enhance localization capabilities. Both systems have been tested in bi-static configurations but the GPR has been expanded to a multi-static configuration for improved perfor...
