This repository holds the experimental results and intermittent reports made throughout the exploration of the technologies in GPR. The initial motivation was to explore ways in which landmine and general target detection could be performed on robotic platforms. However, the scope was quite large and resulted in the work continuing in the form of an engineering thesis on a similarly-spirited albeit technically different problem which is to be released later in 2024.
The software package used for this project is called gprMax, an open-source EM wave propagation simulator utilizing the FDTD method with the context of landmine detection as the primary motivator.
The file_manipulation folder holds some files in which either a required .in
file was generated in Python for gprMax to read, or output file data was processed
in some way to experiment data-merging approaches.
The reports folder will be more enlightening for the direction this project took.
