Signal Processing to Improve Target Detection Using Ground Penetrating Radar

摘要

This paper focuses on some important GPR pre-processing udtasks. These tasks are necessary to improve formal target uddetection and estimation stages. Evaluations performed udusing a conventional matched filter on real GPR data uddemonstrate the benefits of pre-processing. This effort is udconducted with the ultimate goal of realising a reliable udGPR-based coal-thickness sensor.
