Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) crosshole tomography is widely applied to subsurface media images. However, the inadequacies of ray methods may limit resolution images, since method a type high-frequency approximation. To solve this problem, full waveform introduced for GPR inversion. inversion computationally expensive. In paper, we introduce trained neural network that can be evaluated very qu...

A sliding window based prescreening algorithm, utilizing multi-scale histogram of oriented gradient (MS-HOG) features and a linear support vector machine (SVM) classifier, for detection of buried explosive hazards in forwardlooking infrared (FL-IR) and forward-looking ground penetrating radar (FL-GPR) data is presented. This algorithm is compared to previously published FL-IR and FL-GPR prescre...

We report results from a field survey performed on a recently discovered impact field in the southwestern Egyptian desert, using a 270 MHz Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR). This hyperarid region has significant similarities to the Martian heavily eroded mid-latitude cratered terrains in terms of crater density, size, and geomorphology. Profiles across small-buried craters revealed a coherent sequ...

This work described the use of two methods to detect possible abnormalities, debris and cracks inside block of marble. The first method was based on the direct detection of block of marble buried at depth of 0.2 m using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). The second method was based on the use of simulation software named GprMax2D for the same block but at depth of 0.5 m. Our results showed that GP...

While there has been much interest in developing ground-penetrating radar (GPR) technology for rover-based planetary exploration, relatively little work has been done on the data collection process. Starting from the manual method, we fully automate GPR data collection using only sensors typically found on a rover. Further, we produce two novel data products: (1) a three-dimensional, photoreali...

The selection of a near-field or far-field ground-penetrating radar (GPR) model is an important question for an accurate but computationally effective characterization of medium electrical properties using full-wave inverse modeling. In this study, we determined an antenna height threshold for the near-field and farfield full-wave GPR models by analyzing the variation of the spatial derivatives...

This work offers a defect segmentation approach for the nondestructive testing of tunnel lining internal defects using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data. Given GPR synthetic data, it maps structure, CNN named Segnet coupled with Lovász softmax loss function, which enhances accuracy, automation, and efficiency identification. Experiments both actual data show that our innovative method overcom...

The spatial representation of accumulation measurements is a major limitation for current glacier mass balance monitoring approaches. Here, we present a method for estimating annual accumulation rates on a temperate Alpine glacier based on the interpretation of internal reflection horizons (IRHs) in helicopter-borne ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data. For each individual GPR measurement, the s...

[1] Investigations of solute transport in fractured rock aquifers often rely on tracer test data acquired at a limited number of observation points. Such data do not, by themselves, allow detailed assessments of the spreading of the injected tracer plume. To better understand the transport behavior in a granitic aquifer, we combine tracer test data with single-hole ground-penetrating radar (GPR...

In order to develop and evaluate a method for the determination of glacier volume from ice-thickness data, the volume of Schaufelferner, Austria, is calculated (1) by manual interpolation of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data based on measurements at 36 locations in 1995, (2) by manual interpolation of 144 GPR measurements acquired for a higher-resolution estimate in 2003 and 2006, (3) by mult...
