Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.A sliding time‐window energy ratio method is proposed to enhance weak GPR reflections from deep pavement voids. By combining target‐window localization with same‐window normalization, STWER suppresses non‐target interference and improves defect localization, as demonstrated by numerical simulations and field cases verified by excavation and core ...
