Clutter Removal of GPR Data using Complex Natural Resonance Extraction

Abstract

In this paper we present a technique to remove clutter components on B-scans of ground penetrating radar. The technique is based on the complex resonance expansion of the signal, and the removal of poles associated with the clutter. For illustration technique is demonstrated on a buried metal sheet. Results show that the object is clearly highlighted and the clutter reduced in the B-Scan after applying the proposed technique.
