Detecting objects hidden in the subsoil by a mathematical method

Abstract In this paper, we consider a method for the localization and recognition of objects, as archaeological ones, hidden in the subsoil. We consider the physical problem and construct a mathematical model. To this end, from the collected measurements, we obtain a set of numerical data. This set allows the use of the method [1] based on the continuous wavelet transform and a statistical test.
