Analysis of 2D and 3D GPR data interpretation using continuous wavelet transforms: Case study from an archaeological test site

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is one of the most important techniques for obtaining high-resolution data in archaeological research, and it becoming increasingly important. The continuous wavelet transform (CWT), which non-numerical technique, gives an overcomplete representation a signal by continuously varying wavelet’s translation scale parameters time series dataset. This paper focuses on novel technique integrating CWT maxima (WTM) to extract information from test site south-eastern China. For characterization features, we assessed importance dense accurate collection as well GPR processing. mathematical formulation applicability attributes, particularly amplitude-based identify characterize buried targets are also discussed. acquired using co-polarized cross-polarized configurations with transverse-electric (TE) transverse-magnetic (TM) broadside frequency plates at 100 200 MHz. Next, was applied six different levels, followed amplitude comparison. were successfully interpreted peak CWT. proposed methodology has significantly improved visualization interpretation data, gave us good results identifying anomalies.
