ompressive sensing (CS) is a new method for image sampling in contrast with well-known Nyquist sampling theorem. In addition to the sampling and sparse domain which play an important role in perfect signal recovery on CS framework, the recovery algorithm which has been used also has effects on the reconstructed image. In this paper, the performance of four recovery algorithms are compared accor...

We develop and test a technique for the creation of coupled surface and subsurface models. Images from a stereo camera are used to estimate the motion of a rover that is collecting ground penetrating radar (GPR) data. The motion estimate and raw sensor data are used to build two novel data products: (1) A threedimensional, photorealistic surface model coupled with a ribbon of GPR data, and (2) ...

Downward looking ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been considered a viable technology for landmine detection. For such a GPR with the antennas positioned very close to the ground surface, the reflections from the ground surface, i.e., the ground bounce, are very strong and can completely dominate the weak returns from shallowly buried plastic mines. Hence, one of the key challenges of using G...

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is becoming a commonly applied technique in geomorphology. However, its use in the study of subglacial bedforms has yet to be fully explored and exploited. This paper presents the results of a GPR feasibility study conducted on a drumlinized terrain in Cumbria, UK, where five drumlins were investigated using multiple radar antenna frequencies. The site was selecte...

We present a novel method to detect underground cavities using cross-borehole ground-penetrating radar (GPR). model the propagation of GPR signal across cavity and find that spectrum will be distorted in specific low-pass manner. Comparing spectra received signals with predicted hypothesis-testing approach allows us high probability. The proposed is validated on both simulated real measurements...

Glaciers in the Arctic are losing mass at an increasing rate. Here we use surface topography derived from Structure from Motion (SfM) and ice volume from ground penetrating radar (GPR) to describe the 2014 state of Aqqutikitsoq glacier (2.85 km) on Greenland’s west coast. A photogrammetrically derived 1985 digital elevation model (DEM) was subtracted from a 2014 DEM obtained using land-based Sf...

A forward scattering and propagation model has been developed with the primary intent to investigate the feasibility of sounding the Antarctic ice sheet using a spaceborne radar system. The use of the model is also envisaged for support and interpretation of airborne ice sounding or ground penetrating radar (GPR) data. In principle, the model could also be used to support planetary radar soundi...

[1] Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has the potential to image the Martian subsurface to give geological context to drilling targets, investigate stratigraphy, and locate subsurface water. GPR depth of penetration depends strongly on the electromagnetic (EM) properties (complex dielectric permittivity, complex magnetic permeability, and DC resistivity) of the subsurface. These EM properties in t...
