Abstract :
Ground penetrating radars are used in many fields of application. A challenging task is the analysis and interpretation of measurement data wherefore nowadays mainly experts´ help is necessary. In this paper an automatic boundary layer detection based on selective time-frequency analysis is proposed. Developed algorithms are tested on measurement data acquired with an integrated GPR system on a bucket wheel excavator in open cast mining.
