Performance evaluation of a GPR system for mine detection using a 3D-SAR algorithm

Within the "International Test & Evaluation Program" (ITEP) a measurement campaign (ITEP project 2.4.2.13) was held in Oberjettenberg, Germany, to evaluate novel evaluation procedures for the test and evaluation of dual sensor (DS) mine detection devices (metal detector MD and ground penetrating radar GPR). FHR contributed with a UWB GPR sensor and a novel radar data processing algorithm. The improvement of the application of a near field 3D-SAR algorithm compared to standard GPR data processing is shown in terms of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.
