The terms ‘ground-probing radar’, ‘ground penetrating radar (GPR)’, ‘sub-surface radar’ or ‘surface-penetrating radar (SPR)’ refer to various techniques for detecting and imaging of subsurface objects. Among those terms GPR is preferred and used more often. In this thesis, the depth and the position of the buried circular cylinder are determined by a GPR system which comprises of an optical fiber sensor (OFS). The system is a combination of OFS, GPR and optical communication link. In order to determine the depth and the position, first of all the electric field distribution at the OFS is obtained by integrating the Green’s function over the induced current distribution. Those distributions are observed for different frequency and depth values. The voltages inside the distribution are measured by OFS. By changing the depth of the cylinder and the frequency of the system, various plots showing x axis displacement versus measured voltages are obtained. Those plots are related to interference fringe patterns. The position and the depth of the cylinder are obtained using interference fringe patterns. All of the studies mentioned are performed in MATLAB R2007b program. The noises of the system due to OFS are extracted using OPTIWAVE OPTISYSTEM 7.0 program. By adding those noises to the measured voltage values, the operating frequency of the system is observed.

Investigation of Simulated Ground Penetrating Radar Data for Buried Objects Using Quadratic Time-Frequency Transformations
DOĞAN, MESUT; Sayan, Gönül (2017-07-14)
Sub-surface sensing is a challenging area of research that highly benefits from the use of ultra-wideband ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology. Detection and classification of buried objects with reduced false alarm rates is still open to improvements. Use of joint temporal and spectral target features obtained from electromagnetic GPR signals using time-frequency representation (TFR) methods is highly promising because TFRs provide detailed information about the energy distribution of GPR signals over...
Detection of Conducting and Dielectric Objects Buried under a Layer of Asphalt or Concrete Using Simulated Ground Penetrating Radar Signals
DOĞAN, MESUT; GÜMÜŞ, SİNEM; Sayan, Gönül (2017-09-15)
Ground-penetrating radars (GPRs) are ultra-wideband microwave sensors mainly used for detection and identification of mines and other explosive objects buried in soil or hidden under road construction layers. In this study, we investigated effects of having different construction layers over the soil surface in buried object detection problem using A-scan GPR data. A novel preprocessing technique that makes use of cumulative energy curves of A-scan signals is used for preprocessing and target detection in ...
Through-The-Wall Target Detection using GPR A-Scan Data: Effects of Different Wall Structures on Detection Performance
DOĞAN, MESUT; Sayan, Gönül (2017-09-27)
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is an electromagnetic sensor based on the ultra-wideband radar technology that can also be used for through-the-wall (TTW) target recognition. Search for the presence of designated targets hidden behind the walls, such as stationary or moving human bodies or certain types of weapons, is addressed in various critical applications; in rescue missions after earthquakes or in military operations, etc. In such inverse problems, type of the wall is as important as the properties and...
Detection and Microwave Imaging of Conducting Objects Buried Very Closely to the Air-Soil Boundary
Dinc, Selman; Elibol, Hande; Guneri, Rutkay; Ozdol, Ali Bahadir; Sik, Furkan; Yesilyurt, Ismail Taylan; DOĞAN, MESUT; Sayan, Gönül (2019-01-01)
Down-looking Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is an ultra-wideband electromagnetic sensor which has important applications such as IED and landmine detection, locating people in earthquake rescue operations, detection of archeological sites, mapping ice thickness or quantification of sedimentary structures in geophysical applications. The very first and important step in target detection by GPR is the removal of ground reflections caused by the air-soil boundary as these undesired signals are usually much st...
Investigation of the Effects of Buried Object Orientation in Subsurface Target Detection by GPR
Doğan, Mesut; Sayan, Gönül (2017-10-27)
Use of ultra-widehand ground penetrating radars (GPRs) have been the most effective approach in subsurface target detection. Proper preprocessing, prescreening, feature extraction, classification and fusion techniques are all needed to satisfy the requirements of high detection probability and low false alarm rates, simultaneously. Dominating ground reflection signals and soil clutter effects including the randomly varying non-planar ground surfaces, inhomogeneous soil nature, pebbles or rocks within the so...
