چکیده

In this work, we present a methodology for fusing high frequency and low frequency radar images. The goal of this system is to nd the strong surface clutter which is common to high and low frequency radar images and to subtract (defuse) this common component from the low frequency image to extract sub-surface information.

A novel signal processing technique for clutter reduction in GPR measurements of small, shallow land mines

In this paper, a signal processing technique is developed to reduce clutter due to ground bounce in ground penetrating radar (GPR) measurements. This technique is especially useful when a GPR is used to detect subsurface antipersonnel mines. The GPR clutter is modeled using a simple parametric model. Buried mine and clutter contributions are separated through a pair of coupled iterative procedu...

An Effective Signal Processing Procedure for the Detection of Road Damages using Ground Penetrating Radar

Pavement damage is actually one of the most crucial problems in roads. Agencies need first to localize the damage, second to identify the causes. Indeed, the rehabilitation can be compromised, if the cause is not removed. The ground penetrating radar (GPR) technique is used by many agencies involved in roads management. In fact, it is nondestructive and is promising for soil characteristics int...

Detecting Buried Mines in Ground Penetrating Radar Using a Hough Transform Approach

A method for detecting buried mines in ground penetrating radar (GPR) data using a Hough transform approach is described. GPR is one of three sensors used in the Mine Hunter/Killer (MH/K) system for detecting buried mines. A buried mine modeled as a point scatterer in object space gives rise to a hyperbolic response in GPR measurement space. Our approach uses the Hough transform to recover the ...

Automatic Explosive Hazard Detection in Fl-lwir and Fl-gpr Data

This paper proposes a technique for using infrared (IR) imagery to eliminate false forward-looking ground penetrating radar (FLGPR) detections by examining areas in IR images corresponding to FLGPR alarm locations. The FLGPR and IR co-location is based on the assumption of a flat earth and the pinhole camera model. The parameters of the camera and its location on the vehicle are not assumed to ...

Locally-Adaptive Detection Algorithm for Forward-Looking Ground- Penetrating Radar

This paper proposes an effective anomaly detection algorithm for a forward-looking ground-penetrating radar (FLGPR). One challenge for threat detection using FLGPR is its high dynamic range in response to different kinds of targets and clutter objects. The application of a fixed threshold for detection often yields a large number of false alarms. We propose a locally-adaptive detection method t...
