The Application of KL Transform to Remove Direct Wave in Ground Penetrating Radar Records

In ground penetrating radar (GPR) records, because of different kinds of noises, especially direct wave of ground surface, the real target is not seen clearly in the radar echo section, which makes the detection of real targets difficult. Considering that the direct waves among traces are not change greatly and have strong correlation, so it can be restrained by certain methods. KL transform often be used to pick up coherent noises and random noises in multi channel seismic records[U 4]. In this paper, KL transform is used to GPR data processing, which fully uses the different second-order statistic characteristics of their correlations on the direct wave, target signals in multi channel GPR data. The target signals are successfully separated form noises according to the corresponding relation of the eigenvalue's magnitude of the correlation matrix and correlation strength of each component in the multi channel GPR data.
