GPR Signal Analysis for the Exploration of Loose Zones in the Near Surface Underground
In the paper, non-standard signal and image processing applied for the GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) data record for various antennae orientations was presented and discussed. The terrain surveys were carried out in the post-mining region in Poland where numerous sinkholes and subsidence areas were observed on the surface due to the former mining activity. The GPR surveys were conducted between two existing sinkholes and the aim of measurements was detection of loose zones in the ground created by suffosion process which caused the formation of the mentioned two sinkholes. In the paper, the Author proposed a new way of processing and analysis of radargrams based on three steps, i.e. 1D more advanced processing of signals/traces, 2D more advanced image processing of combined radarogram, visualisation and analysis of selected signal attributes.
