“…In early development and testing of HSRs, the detection of landmines [45], [79], and plastic and metal pipes in a concrete floor screed [7], [31] were promising applications. Further research has expanded the scope of HSRs, many of which are also described in [80].…”

“…Experience shows that with a false alarm level of 1 to 2 per 1 square meter, a sapper will reject the high-tech device and prefers to work with a simple probing spikewhich is dangerous because it puts the sapper very close to potential mine and may trigger its detonation by spike. One of the ways to reduce the level of false alarms is to obtain an image of a target while it is still in the ground, which allows reduction of false signals from ground inhomogeneities [46], [79], [83].

Holographic subsurface radar (HSR) is currently not in widespread usage. This is due to an historical perspective in the ground penetrating radar (GPR) community that the high attenuation of electromagnetic waves in most media of interest, and the inability to apply time-varying gain to the continuous wave (CW) HSR signal precludes sufficient effective penetration depth. While it is true that the fundamental physics of HSR, with its use of a CW signal, does not allow amplification of later (i.e. deeper) arrivals in lossy media (as is possible with impulse subsurface radar — ISR), HSR has distinct some distinctive advantages. The most important of these is the ability to do shallow subsurface imaging with a resolution that is not possible with ISR. In addition, the design of an HSR system is simpler than for ISR due to the relatively low-tech transmitting and receiving antennae. This paper provides a review of the main principles of HSR through an optical analogy and describes possible algorithms for radar hologram reconstruction. We also present a review of the history of development of systems and applications for HSR of the “RASCAN” type which is possibly the only holographic subsurface radar that is produced in lots. Among the subsurface imaging and remote sensing applications considered are humanitarian demining, construction inspection, surveys of historic architecture and artworks, nondestructive testing of dielectric aerospace materials, security applications, paleontology, detection of wood-boring insect damage, and others. Each application is illustrated with relevant data acquired in laboratory and/or field experiments.

“…The tests below include several laboratory experiments in which known subsurface defects can be revealed for comparison with the RASCAN radar images, followed by several examples of scanning in historic structures, where destructive testing to confirm interpretation of the RASCAN radar images is not possible. Note that a RASCANradar-based device with an automatic sweeping head has been developed for humanitarian demining (Ivashov et al, 2000), and could, with little modification, work as well for very shallow archaeological prospection, in the classic sense, as it does for landmine detection -but probably only in very dry non-clay soils.…”

This paperexplores the application of the RASCAN holographic radar for non-destructive subsurface imaging of works of art and architecture. This radar provides high-resolution plan-view images of the shallow subsurface in dielectric materials.The radar is particularly sensitive to small metallic targets, but also to variations in moisture content. Originally developed for detection of hidden bugging devices, sounding of building construction details, and detection of landmines, here the utility of the RASCAN radar for art and architectural preservation studies is demonstrated by several bench-top experiments on stone andwooditemswith different subsurface defects and features, aswellas actual field tests on a decorative marble medallion in the floor of theTemple of San Biagio in Montepulciano, Italy, and Frescoes in the Church of San Rocco in Cornaredo, Italy. Historical research indicates that the medallion in San Biagio was laid circa1590 during the funeral ceremony of a Prelatio of the family Casata Cervini.The actualburialplace ofthe Prelatioisnot recorded, but a radar scan ofthe medallion, and follow-up scansofa bench-top modelsuggest the possibilityofa cavity that could containremains orrelics.In San Rocco, smalldelaminationswere detected behind the frescos
