What is it about?
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is widely used in detecting buried objects including utility lines, tree roots, caves, landmines, grave sites, etc. Accurate depth estimation of the lateral object location depends on many factors. We proposed a statistical analytical monitoring scheme to detect burial site of objects and estimate their location and depth with high accuracy. The analytics run in real-time that is plausible for real-life applications.

Why is it important?
The developed analytics provide • Fully automated detection procedure • Warning the user prior to reaching buried objects • Accurate location and depth estimation of buried object • Detecting multiple buried objects • Fast run-time of the analytics plausible for on-site applications • Accurate performance even on noisy media
Perspectives
We have two publications and a granted non-provisional patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office as the new analytics detect objects and estimate their location and depth with high accuracy, performing far better than anything currently on the market.
