  • Abstract
    This paper is dedicated to the detection of buried pipes with a ground penetrating radar (GPR). The images from GPR acquisitions also called B-scan are corrupted by clutter and noise. In order to remove these undesirable items we propose to use the properties of the curvelet transform. We´re using this method as a first step of the automatic detection of hyperbola in a B-scan.
