Abstract :
Data preprocessing algorithm including clutter suppression, threshold detector, ROI (region of interest) extraction and layer interface smoothing is presented, which is a part of automatic pavement subsurface rating system. The results based on simulation and measurement GPR (ground penetrating radar) data show that the presented algorithm is feasible.
