摘要
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a useful tool for performing subsurface imaging by using radar pulses. In previous paper, we proposed a method for denoising GPR signals by using 2D Gabor wavelet transforms. In this paper, we present a new method for emphasizing GPR reflected waves from buried objects. We can evaluate the results of the time-frequency analysis of the reflection waves on the basis of the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and the Infinite Gaussian Mixture Model (IGMM) methods. Our proposed methods are effective as pre-processing method for detecting the positions of buried metal pipes. © 2012 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
