A Hybrid Pattern Recognition System for Detecting Buried Object in GPR Images

Abstract It is very difficult to evaluate the shape of the buried objects using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). In this study, 180 GPR B scan images were classified by using different classification algorithms. GPR-B scan images of objects with different shapes in various depths were obtained by using GprMax simulation program. Noise in these images […]
