  • Abstract
    In this paper, a preliminary study, based on GPR data analysis by means of artificial neural networks, for automatic pavement diagnostic is addressed. The proposed solving solution models the pavement as a multi-layered medium composed of N parallel homogenous layers, which are separately analyzed through a recursive procedure able to reconstruct their permittivity and thickness. The basic processing module of the whole procedure, is here presented.
