Abstract

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) needs precise antenna positioning system for soil sections imaging. In the GPR located on wheeled vehicle or flying platform the data about its position are most often generated by standard measure devices like survey wheels or GPS. These solutions are useless for the light handheld systems especially in the hard terrain. In the paper a new method for precise positioning of handheld GPR is described. It uses micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and optoelectronic device for precise 3D movement parameters estimation.
