Abstract :
Many works have been done to develop efficient imaging algorithms for ground penetrating radars. We have developed a new imaging algorithm SEABED for homogeneous media and confirmed its performance. This algorithm has an advantage that the calculation time is quite short because it is based on a reversible transform. However, its performance for inhomogeneous media has not studied yet. In this paper, we examine the performance of SEABED for inhomogeneous media
