Abstract :
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is used for below ground imaging of shallow buried objects. In this paper, a new radio frequency (RF) tomography approach to signal processing is presented. Reconstructed 2D and 3D images of shallowly buried objects are computed via numerical discretization and inversion. Results from simulation analysis and experimentation are used to validate this method.
