Abstract :
The task of detection of specific buried objects in ground penetrating radar (GPR) images is considered. A modification of the Hough transform (HT) is proposed and applied to this problem. Methods of texture analysis are used to determine the soil structure. The possibility of gaining information about the material of the buried object is examined. The results of some experiments with GPR imagery are shown and discussed
