A real-world guide to practical applications of ground
penetrating radar (GPR)
The nondestructive nature of ground penetrating radar makes it
an important and popular method of subsurface imaging, but it is a
highly specialized field, requiring a deep understanding of the
underlying science for successful application. Introduction to
Ground Penetrating Radar: Inverse Scattering and Data
Processing provides experienced professionals with the
background they need to ensure precise data collection and
analysis.
Written to build upon the information presented in more general
introductory volumes, the book discusses the fundamental
mathematical, physical, and engineering principles upon which GPR
is built. Real-world examples and field data provide readers an
accurate view of day-to-day GPR use. Topics include:
* 2D scattering for dielectric and magnetic targets
* 3D scattering equations and migration algorithms
* Host medium characterization and diffraction tomography
* Time and frequency steps in GPR data sampling
* The Born approximation and the singular value
decomposition
The six appendices contain the mathematical proofs of all
examples discussed throughout the book. Introduction to Ground
Penetrating Radar: Inverse Scattering and Data Processing is a
comprehensive resource that will prove invaluable in the field.
