When underground piping for a water supply or gas supply is buried, some obstacles such as unknown pipes or stones can be encountered. To avoid such situations, an examination of the underground condition from the ground surface is needed. For such an examination, the ultrashallow reflection method is used. We use a giant-magnetostriction vibrator as a seismic source and a magnified cross-correlation analysis as an analysis method. This analysis is performed to obtain the arrival time of waves reflected from underground objects. In this study, an underground imaging method is proposed using the magnified cross-correlation analysis and a simulation is conducted. Then the experiment of detecting a buried concrete block is conducted. Finally, the imaging method is applied to the experimental result, and then the underground image is obtained. With this imaging method, the position of the buried concrete block can be estimated.
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.
