Underground Imaging Method Using Magnified Cross-Correlation Analysis

When Underground piping for a water supply or,its supply is buried. some obstacles Such LIS Unknown pipes or stories can be encountered. To avoid such situations, an examination of the underground condition from the ground surface is needed, For such air examination, the ultrashallow reflection method is Used. We use a gaint-magnetostriction vibrator as a Seismic source and a magnified cross-correlation analysis as ail analysis method. This analysis is performed to obtain the arrival time of waves reflected from underground objects. In this Study, an underground imaging method is proposed using the magnified cross-correlation analysis and a simulation is conducted. Then the experiment of detecting a buried concrete block is conducted. Finally, the imaging method is applied to the experimental result, and then the underground image is obtained. With this imaging method, the position of the buried concrete block can be estimated. [DOI: 10.1143/JJAP.47.3946]
