Dissecting and Interpreting a Three-Dimensional Ground-Penetrating Radar Dataset: An Example from Northern Australia

Abstract: A robust 3-D GPR dataset provides interpreters with a variety of methods for extracting important information at buried archaeological sites. An iterative approach that uses reflection profile analysis, amplitude slice-mapping, and often both in conjunction is often necessary as neither method by itself is sufficient. In northern Australia, two constructed mounds contain a number of cultural and geological horizons and features, which can be imaged with GPR. The reflection profiles display the modified ground … Show more

“…The cavern system is not entirely hollow; in some places, they are filled with materials having characteristics distinct from those of the host rock. The cavern system has varying depths between 0 and 5.2 m. The GPR method has continued to advance, enabling researchers in a variety of fields to obtain high-resolution images of subsurface objectives, including those in geology and civil engineering [23][24][25], management and conservation of the cultural heritage [26], and archaeology [27][28][29], in examining frescoes, decorations, and columns [23,[30][31][32], and in describing ground conditions in urban areas [33].…”

“…GPR has been employed in the advanced geological prediction and detection of tunnels [35,36]. From research literature and data, we determine that the detection personnel generally process the GPR signals by using the algorithms of static correction, gain, offset, and filtering included in the GPR software and then analyzed the amplitude, phase, and frequency changes in the GPR profile to infer and explain unfavorable geological bodies [37][38][39]. However, the analysis software in GPR generally uses Fourier theory that has no time-frequency localized analysis capability.…”

“…The geophysical techniques are used as nondestructive as well as fast methods in archaeology to locate, and characterize the subsurface features by measuring its physical properties, such as resistivity and permittivity responses as a function of time and space domains. Ground penetrating radar (GPR), for example, has wide applications in archaeological prospection, since it is able to produce reliable 2D/3D high-resolution images for the shallow subsurface within depths ranges from a few centimetres to tens of metres (Conyers, 2012(Conyers, , 2013Conyers et al, 2019;Verdonck, 2016;Verdonck et al, 2013;Waters, 1992). Moreover, the 2D/3D electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) has become more important for imagining and mapping complex geological and archaeological structures at various depths (Barker, 1981;Bernardes et al, 2017;Clark, 1990;Cozzolino et al, 2012;Dabas et al, 2000;Dahlin, 2001;Gemail, 2015;Gemail et al, 2004Gemail et al, , 2016Griffiths et al, 1990;Griffiths & Barker, 1993;Overmeeren & Ritsema, 1988;Papadopoulos et al, 2007Papadopoulos et al, , 2009.…”
