Detection of external effects on ground penetrating radar survey

Abstract EN

The ground-penetrating radar survey (GPR) has been conducted to detect some grave markers in a cemetery location.

This was done through measuring seven profiles that range in length from (30 – 100) m.

The results of only three profiles were found to deserve analysis.

It was revealed that external effects were associated with the GPR anomalies in the studied area.

Precautions were taken into consideration before the measurements and during the interpretation process.

Reflex software was used to distinguish and process the GPR anomalies.

It was found during the excavation process that those anomalies are not related to buried bodies.

It is most probably due to the soil condition of the studied area.

However, it was a good chance to identify those anomalies, especially; that the excavation was performed instantly in the area.
