Abstract: A system for analyzing and displaying radar information comprises: a transmit and receive unit operable to transmit radar signals to a survey volume and to receive radar returned radar signals, a processing unit operable to: receive radar data from the returned radar signals, reduce the data into depth bins, each with a score based on received signal strength, create connections among depth bins based on respective scores, and to eliminate ones of the depth bins that do not meet a threshold number of connections, the system further comprising a display unit operable to create a display of at least a subset of the depth bins that are not eliminated by the processing unit.

Merged ground penetrating radar display for multiple antennas
David Cist
- 29 May 2013
TL;DR: In this article, a visual output of data from a ground-penetrating radar is displayed on a visual medium, such as a display with a first exhibition of output from a higher frequency range antenna, a second exhibition from a lower-frequency range antenna (compared to the other antenna; see definition in the "detailed description"), and a transition area between the first and second exhibition having merged data from the lower frequency antenna and the higher frequency antenna.
