Abstract

This work focuses on the use of easy-to-apply procedures that allow rapid visualization of components of water supply systems (WSSs) by non-highly qualified personnel. We use a methodology that does not alter the conditions and characteristics of the environment (nondestructive methods), specifically the study of images obtained with ground penetrating radar (GPR). The study is based on the analysis and interpretation of the wave amplitude, then applying a series of image corrections, so that the display and handling of data is improved. The results are promising as a subjective and repeatable methodology to visualize buried pipes efficiently. The goal is to generate know-how to be able to train intelligent systems for the characterization of components of WSSs.
