Abstract :
The present article offers a description of software complex, which supports reception and preliminary processing of ground penetrating radar (GPR) information, development of flag description, generation of radar displays and synthesis of their audio representation in the tasks of underground sounding data interpretation. A method of image-to-sound conversion is described, with the storage of image information at the level of attainable resolution. Technical feasibility of the replacement of visual perception with acoustic perception has been substantiated. Practical limitations of the parameters of conversion have been defined, and the conformity of the coded values with the level of perception of audio information has been verified.
