: Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a widely used sensor for land mine detection. However, GPR signal return is very susceptible to ground bounce and reflection of clutter objects, which makes the detection a difficult problem to date. In this paper, we propose to utilize two-sided linear prediction (LP) to model the background interference and then employ the residue energy to generate the test statistic. It is demonstrated from real GPR data that the proposed scheme is able to significantly suppress the interference due to ground reflection and is superior to the adaptive ground bounce removal and one-sided LP methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
