P081 PIPE DETECTION AT ARBITRARY ANGLES USING GROUND-PENETRATING RADAR Summary 1 Near Surface 2005 — Palermo Italy 5 - 8 September 2005 AUTHORS W. AL-NUAIMY and S. SHIHAB Address Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics University of Liverpool Brownlow Hill Liverpool L69 3GJ This abstract outlines a technique to automatically detect and maps pipes using ground penetrating radar (GPR). The novelty of this technique is that it utilizes information obtained from multiple radar images to accurately map even pipes buried at arbitrary orientations with respect to the direction of the radar survey line. Indeed this method allows GPR data acquisition
