Abstract
In the paper, non-standard signal and image processing applied for the GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) data record for various
antennae orientations was presented and discussed. The terrain surveys were carried out in the post-mining region in Poland where
numerous sinkholes and subsidence areas were observed on the surface due to the former mining activity. The GPR surveys
were conducted between two existing sinkholes and the aim of measurements was detection of loose zones in the ground created
by suffosion process which caused the formation of the mentioned two sinkholes. In the paper, the Author proposed a new way
of processing and analysis of radargrams based on three steps, i.e. 1D more advanced processing of signals/traces, 2D more
advanced image processing of combined radarogram, visualisation and analysis of selected signal attributes.
