Abstract :
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is emerging as viable technology for rapid and accurate landmine detection. Although GPR has been successfully used for landmine and subsurface object detection, the performance of GPR is dependant on the type of medium the subsurface object is buried in. In this paper, we report studies of the effect of three different soils. on two sets of GPR antenna´s imaging response to an easily understood target.
