Ray-based radius estimations of subsurface cylindrical objects such as rebars and pipes from ground-penetrating-radar (GPR) measurements are not accurate because of their approximations. We have developed a novel full-waveform inversion (FWI) approach that uses a full-waveform 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) forward-modeling program to estimate the radius including other object parameters. By using the full waveform of the common-offset GPR data, the shuffled complex evolution (SCE) approach is able to reliably extract the radius of the subsurface cylindrical objects. A combined optimization of radius, medium properties, and the effective source wavelet is necessary. Synthetic and experimental data inversion returns an accurate reconstruction of the cylinder properties, medium properties, and the effective source wavelet. Combining FWI of GPR data using SCE and a 3D FDTD forward model makes the approach easily adaptable for a wide range of other GPR FWI approaches.

Ground Penetrating

Rapid spill detection and mapping are needed with increasing levels of oil exploration and production in the Arctic. Previous work has found that ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is effective for qualitative identification of oil spills under, and encapsulated within, sea ice. Quantifying the spill distribution will aid effective spill response. To this end, we have developed a targeted GPR reflection-waveform inversion algorithm to quantify the geometry of oil spills under and within sea ice. With known electric properties of the ice and oil, we have inverted for oil thickness and variations in ice thickness. We have tested the algorithm with data collected during a controlled spill experiment using 500-MHz radar reflection data. The algorithm simultaneously recovered the thickness of a 5-cm-thick oil layer at the base of the ice to within 8% of the control value, estimated the thickness of a 1-cm-thick oil layer encapsulated within the ice to within 30% of the control value, and accurately mapped centimeter-scale variations in ice thickness.
