Abstract
Traditional Canny edge detection algorithm has been widely used for the extraction of hyperbolic edges in ground penetrating radar (GPR). However, the Canny edge detection algorithm cannot adaptively determine the segmentation thresholds. Moreover, multiple hyperbolic edges are usually detected for each target, which increases the complexity of subsequent processing. In this letter, we propose a novel method that obtains only one hyperbolic edge for each target and automatically determines the segmentation threshold. Both simulation and real data results show that the proposed method is able to extract the target hyperbolic edges precisely and significantly improves the efficiency of target detection combined with the Hough transform in impulse GPR systems.
