Abstract

The paper discuss the possible applications of computing systems in processing of GPR sounding profiles, viewed as signal and/or image processing. GPR (ground penetrating radar) is a non-invasive and non-destructive technique of subsurface investigation, similar to other radar-type detection methods. The sounding profile as a result of GPR data acquisition, is a bidimensional image, most usual in gray scale, that often requires preliminary processing in order to reveal significant information. Different types of processing like background removal and various filtering are discussed, and the possibility of neural processing is analyzed for different situations.
