Abstract :
In this communication we discuss the adoption of the Linear Sampling Method (LSM) to data collected within a GPR array-based configuration. In particular, since this simple and effective non-iterative method requires multi-static multiview data to perform the imaging task, we introduce an analytic tool to appraise the relationship between the array aperture and the method´s performance and provide numerical examples to show the feasibility of the LSM in 2-D GPR surveys.
