Wavelets and neural nets for stratigraphic analysis

The paper describes a hybrid ground penetrating radar (GPR) system developed by Quaternary Resource Investigations, Inc., of Baton Rouge, La. The system is designed to tradeoff on the vertical resolution of standard GPR while improving the depth of penetration. It is designed primarily for stratigraphical analysis which does not, typically, require the finer vertical resolution that standard GPR provides. The problem motivating the design of this equipment is the non-invasive identification of geologic contaminant traps and migration paths
