Multiparameter Adaptive Target Classification Using Full-Polarimetric GPR: A Novel Approach to Landmine Detection

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022
Full-polarimetric ground penetrating radar (FP-GPR) can measure the ability of an object to change the polarization of electromagnetic waves. Compared to the traditional GPR, it has a stronger capability to identify underground objects.
