ARRAY GPR “YAKUMO” AND ITS APPLICATION TO ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES| Session Chairs: | Lorenzo Capineri, Motoyuki Sato |
The capability of imaging underground is paramount for rescue operations in the case of a natural disasters such as an earthquake, as well as, for monitoring in security or defense applications. Electromagnetic waves play a primary role in probing these scenarios due to their ability to penetrate various media. However, imaging in these scenarios is challenging because this is an inverse problem complicated by many factors, including the presence of unknown materials and obstacles geometries. Solutions have been obtained, in many cases, using simplified scattering models. Existing imaging systems are based on single or multiple antennas, which could either be fixed or moving. Topics of interest include: 1) Systems for underground exploration, such as ground penetrating radars or antennas specifically designed for this purpose; 2) Propagation methods in complex media, geophysical tomography, multiple scattering, forward modeling of the electromagnetic scattering and propagation; 3) Ability to tackle the complexity of the scenarios in realistic conditions by accounting for factors including antenna modeling, computational complexity, and medium characterization; 4) Inversion methods for high resolution of large regions and effective imaging of hidden and buried targets in 3D scenarios; 5) Inversion approaches for “quantitative” reconstruction in controlled and realistic conditions; and, 6) Development and analysis of new methods for multiple antenna systems data processing.
