This paper describes the development of an impulse GPR configuration suitable for the detection of buried targets in natural soils - particularly the Eastern Ukraine conflict zone. The design has incorporated the requirements for a lightweight and compact system to be installed as a one component of a multi-sensor robotic scanner. The antennae have been placed in a configuration such that the footprint at 2 GHz remains sufficiently large to scan an area with dimensions larger than a typical plastic- or metal-cased landmine. The target detection and positioning algorithm, based on recorded time-of-flight data has been developed for this configuration and the analytical solution is essentially real time, simple, and easily implemented on low power ARM processors.

Abstract
This paper describes the development of an impulse GPR configuration suitable for the detection of buried targets in natural soils - particularly the Eastern Ukraine conflict zone. The design has incorporated the requirements for a lightweight and compact system to be installed as a one component of a multi-sensor robotic scanner. The antennae have been placed in a configuration such that the footprint at 2 GHz remains sufficiently large to scan an area with dimensions larger than a typical plastic- or metal-cased landmine. The target detection and positioning algorithm, based on recorded time-of-flight data has been developed for this configuration and the analytical solution is essentially real time, simple, and easily implemented on low power ARM processors.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
