4. Signal processing
4.1 Objectives and precautions
The aim of the methods used to process the raw data acquired by georadar is to obtain an interpreted image that reveals the classification of targets or the geometric and/or physical characteristics of the subsurface. Most of the most widely used processing methods have been borrowed from the fields of seismic . However,...
