摘要
Full-resolution 3-D ground-penetrating radar (GPR) imaging of the near surface should be simple and efficient. Geoscientists, archeologists, and engineers need a tool capable of generating interpretable subsurface views at centimeter-to-meter resolution of field sites ranging from smooth parking lots to rugged terrain. The authors have integrated novel rotary laser positioning technology with GPR into such a 3-D imaging system. The laser positioning enables acquisition of centimeter accurate x, y, and Z coordinates from multiple small detectors attached to moving GPR antennas. Positions streaming with 20 updates/s from each detector are fused in real time with the GPR data. The authors developed software for automated data acquisition and real time 3-D GPR data quality control on slices at selected depths. Industry standard (SEGY) format data cubes and animations are generated within an hour after the last trace has been acquired. Such instant 3-D GPR can be used as an on-site imaging tool supporting field work, hypothesis testing, and optimized excavation and sample collection in the exploration of the static and dynamic nature of the shallow subsurface.
