Effect of Presence of Rock on Surface of Soil on Buried Object Detection

This paper focuses on buried object detection using multistatic ground penetrating radar (GPR) system. In detection, GPR has to deal with inhomogeneous problems and its performanance is affected by the properties of soil. In GPR, the contrast of electromagnetic characteristics between buried object and soil is of utmost important. Experimental data have been used to study the effect of rocks on surface of soil on buried object detection. Results are presented by applying signal processing technique for improvement in detection.
