A real-world guide to practical applications of groundpenetrating radar (GPR)
The nondestructive nature of ground penetrating radar makes itan important and popular method of subsurface imaging, but it is ahighly specialized field, requiring a deep understanding of theunderlying science for successful application. Introduction toGround Penetrating Radar: Inverse Scattering and DataProcessing provides experienced professionals with thebackground they need to ensure precise data collection andanalysis.
Written to build upon the information presented in more generalintroductory volumes, the book discusses the fundamentalmathematical, physical, and engineering principles upon which GPRis built. Real-world examples and field data provide readers anaccurate 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 valuedecomposition
The six appendices contain the mathematical proofs of allexamples discussed throughout the book. Introduction to GroundPenetrating Radar: Inverse Scattering and Data Processing is acomprehensive resource that will prove invaluable in the field.
