GPR / GPS combination in 3-D modeling of buried objects

Abstract

The objective of this study is defining the effect of topographic slope differences, as being one of the parameters that affect GPR -a near surface geophysic and remote sensing technology, on measurement results, and to find out a solution to the problem of the unsystematic error resulted from slope area on GPR measurements with in the discipline of Geomatic Engineering by using recent survey methods and technologies. It is considered that it is possible to eliminate the errors resulted from area slope differences via GPS as being a widely used technology to acquire topographic data, by collecting and evaluating the relevant data simultaneously. Taking into consideration the methodology that objects the combination of GPR-GPS in local and foreign literature; there is not such an academic attempt to study the combination of GPR-GPS comparatively with classical GPR survey technique, thorough the buried reference object of which dimensions are known in advance. In order to test the performance of the method derived from the combination of GPR-GPS combination, buried object, of which dimensions are known in advance, will be considered as a reference, then two models of 3D; one 3D model that is provided by classical GPR survey sand another 3D model that is provided by the combination of GPR-GPS, was compared with the actual dimensions of the object. When comparing the results of the traditional GPR survey with those of the GPR-GPS combination, it has been noted that the GPR-GPS method produced beter horizontal point positioning precision, and the horizontal positioning uncertainty was improved about 28,2% for slope land types.
