Detection and localization of shallow buried targets: experimental results

Abstract

Experimental results concerning the detection and localization of shallow buried targets are shown. The imaging method relies on a convenient two dimensional mathematical formulation, in which the third spatial dimension, that is the depth, is neglected. The input data are bistatic measurements, where the source is fixed and the receiving antenna moves onto a plane parallel to the air/ground interface. Each set of spatial measurements is taken at one single frequency. The use of several sets, taken at different frequencies, allows to perform detection and localization with few (undersampled) spatial data.
