Abstract :
A two dimensional shape reconstruction algorithm is applied to experimental GPR in-situ measurement data. The reconstruction algorithm is based on the Kirchhoff approximation and is exploited to process data collected under a multimonostatic configuration by a pulsed GPR. Thus the need to pass from time domain measurements to frequency domain data suitable for the inversion algorithm is also addressed.
