Information extraction from ultrawideband ground penetrating radar data: A machine learning approach

To detect and characterize pipes and cables buried in the ground and to track their course we propose a new approach, which consists of an ultrawideband radar system employed as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and a machine learning algorithm for the objects' hyperbola identification and evaluation directly in the recorded radargram.
