In many modern GPR systems, it is desired to detect the presence of targets in the interference which includes clutter and noise. Detection of water leaks using GPR has been aimed in this work. Pipe and soil are known as the clutter of data in this scenario. Various signal processing techniques like multivariate subspace-based algorithms are proposed to effectively suppress the clutter and increase the signal to interference ratio. Combining Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as a unique algorithm has demonstrated the ability to eliminate the GPR clutter and extract the target signal.
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.
