Deterioration of pavements or tunnels results primarily from the existence of voids under the pavements or tunnel linings. To detect these voids effectively by non-destructive tests, a method using radar was proposed. In this research, it is investigated to detect the shape of voids by radar image processing. The experiments were conducted to detect voids under concrete slab. From the results, the fundamental algorithm for tracing the voids, improving the horizontal resolution of the object image and detecting shape of objects, was verified.
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.
