Principles of 3D Radar MappingPrinciples of 3D Radar Mapping

Once buried object is found how do we determine what it is?

Using multiple antennae moving over a straight line-Concentrated finding = single object

-Linear = service pipe

-Distributed = layer

Images improved using specialist image filtering techniques
