摘要
Nowadays, benefiting from its strong capability of nondestructive detection, the ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has been applied to detect and reconstruct underground targets and has drawn lots of attention both in military and civilian fields. However, in the processing of GPR imaging, due to the dispersion errors caused by random distribution of various particles in soil, conventional imaging methods have disadvantages of low signal-noise ratio (SNR), low resolution, and unbalanced amplitude. In this article, to achieve high resolution and high veracity on underground targets' 3-D reconstruction, we improved the conventional reverse time migration (RTM) algorithm in perspective of medium constitutive relationship. Besides, we extended the improved RTM method in 3-D environments and reconstructed the 3-D structure of several underground targets. To make the RTM algorithm suitable for stepped frequency continuous wave (SFCW) GPR system, we generated three excitation signal models and analyzed the effect of different excitation signals on imaging performance. Finally, through the quantitative analysis of simulation and on-vehicle experimental results, we found that the 3-D images generated by improved RTM method had higher resolution, smaller measurement error, and higher veracity than those of conventional RTM method.
