Classification Size of Underground Object from Ground Penetrating Radar Image using Machine Learning Technique

2023-01-01 , Mohd Shuhanaz Zanar Azalan , Esian T. , Hasimah Ali , Ahmad Firdaus Ahmad Zaidi , Amran T.S.T.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a useful tool in detecting subsurface object or hidden structure defects However, the time-consuming problems and high requirement of professional manpower is required to analyse the GPR data. Machine learning is a tool that endowed with the ability to learn, and it can reduce time taken for the GPR data analysing. To simplify the identification process, a framework is proposed to classify the size of underground metallic pipe by using Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) as a feature extraction algorithm. Two machine learning algorithms namely Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Backpropagation Neural Network were proposed to classify the size of the underground metallic pipe. As a result, the accuracy from the identification is more than 98% for both classifier algorithm.

Ground penetrating radar for buried utilities detection and mapping: a review

2021-12-01 , Hasimah Ali , Ideris N.S.M. , Ahmad Firdaus Ahmad Zaidi , Mohd Shuhanaz Zanar Azalan , Amran T.S.T. , Ahmad M.R. , Rahim N.A. , Shazmin Aniza Abdul Shukor

This paper presents a review on Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) detection and mapping of buried utilities which have been widely used as non-destructive investigation and efficiently in terms of usage. The reviews cover on experimental design in GPR data collection and survey, pre-processing, extracting hyperbolic feature using image processing and machine learning techniques. Some of the issues and challenges facing by the GPR interpretation particularly in extracting the hyperbolas pattern of underground utilities have also been highlighted.

Feature Extraction based on Empirical Mode Decomposition for Shapes Recognition of Buried Objects by Ground Penetrating Radar

2021-06-11 , Hasimah Ali , Mohd Shuhanaz Zanar Azalan , Zaidi A.F.A. , Amran T.S.T. , Ahmad M.R. , Elshaikh M.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is one of the promising non-destructive imaging tools investigations for shallow subsurface exploration such as locating and mapping the buried utilities. In practical applications, GPR images could be noisy due to the system noise, the heterogeneity of the medium, and mutual wave interactions thus, it is a complex task to recognizing the hyperbolic signature of buried objects from GPR images. Therefore, this paper aims to develop nonlinear feature extraction technique of using Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) in recognizing the four geometrical shapes (cubic, cylindrical, disc and spherical) from GPR images. A pre-processing step of isolating hyperbolic signature from different background was first employed by mean of Region of Interest (ROI). The hyperbolic signature that describes the shapes was extracted using EMD decomposition to obtain a set of significant features. In this framework, the hyperbolic pattern was decomposed of using EMD, to produce a small set of intrinsic mode functions (IMF) via sifting process. The IMF properties of the signature that exhibit the unique pattern was used as potential features to differentiate the geometrical shapes of buried objects. The extracted IMF features were then fed into machine learning classifier namely Support Vector Machines. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a set data collection of GPR-images has been acquired. The experimental results show that the recognition rate of using IMF features was achieved 99.12% accuracy in recognizing the shapes of buried objects whose shows the promising result.
