Abstract

This contribute proposes a heuristic strategy for processing GPR data referred to scenarios characterized by strong buried discontinuities, for which the common assumption of a homogeneous soil drives to errors in the imaging. This can be the case of layered media or the case of electrically large buried cavities. Here, the focus is on the buried cavities and a combined time-depth conversion strategy, which is able to account for the different propagation velocities in the cavity and in the surrounding soil, is proposed. Results referred to simulated data provide a preliminary assessment of the achievable imaging capabilities.
