Simulation of Ground Penetrating Radar in 3-D using MATLAB.
Keyword
Based on the title proposed, the keyword here is Ground Penetrating Radar where the results of the images constructed will be in 3-D. The need for the images of the subsurface is crucial for the Matlab, where we will take note on the difference in terms of the volume, the permittivity, permeability, etc.
Objective
The objective of this project:
* Simulating the images constructed onto Matlab in 3-D. * To understand what Ground Penetrating Radar is and how it works. * Building an even deeper understanding of the commands in Matlab.
Background
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a high resolution electromagnetic technique that is designed primarily to investigate the shallow subsurface of the earth, building materials, roads and bridges. GPR is a time-dependent geophysical technique that can provide a 3-D pseudo image of the subsurface, including the fourth dimension of colour and can also provide the accurate depth estimates for many common subsurface objects. GPR has many applications in a number of fields. In the Earth sciences it is used to study bedrock, soils, groundwater, and ice. Engineering applications include non-destructive testing (NDT) of structures and pavements, locating buried structures and utility lines, and studying soils and bedrock. In environmental remediation, GPR is used to define landfills, contaminant plumes, and other remediation sites, while in archaeology it is used for mapping archaeological features and cemeteries. GPR is used in law enforcement for locating clandestine graves and buried evidence. Military uses include detection of mines, unexploded ordinance, and tunnels.
This type of specialized radar works a lot like regular radar. The radar unit has a sending antenna which sends out pulses of sound, and a receiving antenna, which picks up those pulses when they bounce off objects underground. The returned
