Abstract
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) detection is a popular technology in civil engineering. Because of its advantages of non-destructive testing (NDT) and high work efficiency, GPR is widely used to detect hard foreign objects in soil. However, the interpretation of GPR images relies heavily on the work experience of researchers, which may lead to problems of low detection efficiency and a high false recognition rate. Therefore, this paper proposes a real-time detection technology of GPR based on deep learning for the application of soil foreign object detection. In this study, the GPR image signal is obtained in real time by the GPR instrument and software, and the image signals are preprocessed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the GPR image signals and improve the image quality. Then, in view of the problem that YOLOv5 poorly detects small targets, this study improves the problems of false detection and missed detection in real-time GPR detection by improving the network structure of YOLOv5, adding an attention mechanism, data enhancement, and other means. Finally, by establishing a regression equation for the position information of the ground penetrating radar, the precise localization of the foreign matter in the underground soil is realized.
