Abstract :
An adaptive ground bounce (GB) removal algorithm is presented for landmine detection with a downward looking stepped frequency ground penetrating radar (GPR). The main idea is to estimate and eliminate the GB from a given scan as a shifted and scaled version of an adaptively estimated reference GB. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate that the new algorithm outperforms existing approaches
