Abstract

En 中文
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is an effective tool for underground object detection, but its data interpretation remains a great challenge. In this letter, we propose a novel underground object classification algorithm using deep 3-D convolutional networks (C3D) and multiple mirror encoding (MME) for 3-D GPR data. Although deep learning technique has been applied to interpret the GPR data, most of the existing methods are based on GPR B-scans and have a relatively low accuracy since the reflections from various subsurface targets present similar hyperbolic patterns in B-scans. To improve the classification accuracy, we use 3-D GPR data as training data for C3D to capture the spatio-temporal features between parallel B-scans. Since 3-D GPR data including single object has different sizes in consideration of actual sizes of objects, they are rearranged by the MME method to enhance spatio-temporal features, as well as to satisfy the requirement of the network input. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art B-scan-based methods.
