Abstract
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is widely used for subsurface detection due to the nondestructive characteristics. GPR signal is non-stationary because of complex medium environment, and time-frequency analysis is the powerful tool for the research of GPR signal. In this paper, a new generalized S transform with parameters optimization is proposed to analyze the GPR signal. In the proposed scheme, first a flexible window function replaces the fixed window function of S transform, then the criterion of time-frequency concentration is used to optimize the parameters of the window function, the aim is to improve the time-frequency resolution and applicability of S transform. The experimental results for synthetic data and practical GPR data show the proposed scheme can enhance the energy concentration in time-frequency domain effectively and provide better layer recognition and target detection performance.
