• Abstract: Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) has been widely used to estimate the healthy operation of some urban roads and underground facilities. When identifying subsurface anomalies by GPR in an area, the obtained data could be unbalanced, and the numbers and types of possible underground anomalies could not be acknowledged in advance. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to improve the subsurface anomaly detection from GPR B-scan images. A normal (i.e. without subsurface objects) GPR image section is firstly collected in the detected area. Concerning that the GPR image is essentially the representation of electromagnetic (EM) wave and propagation time, and to preserve both the subsurface background and objects' details, the normal GPR image is segmented and then fused with simulated GPR images that contain different kinds of objects to generate the synthetic data for the detection area based on the wavelet decompositions. Pre-trained CNNs could then be fine-tuned with the synthetic data, and utilized to extract features of segmented GPR images subsequently obtained in the detection area. The extracted features could be classified by the one-class learning algorithm in the feature space without pre-set anomaly types or numbers. The conducted experiments demonstrate that fine-tuning the pre-trained CNN with the proposed synthetic data could effectively improve the feature extraction of the network for the objects in the detection area. Besides, the proposed method requires only a section of normal data that could be easily obtained in the detection area, and could also meet the timeliness requirements in practical applications.

  Urban roads and infrastructure, vital to city operations, face growing threats from subsurface anomalies like cracks and cavities. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) effectively visualizes underground conditions employing electromagnetic (EM) waves. However, accurate anomaly detection via GPR remains challenging due to limited labeled data, varying subsurface conditions, and indistinct target boundaries. We propose the Reservoir-enhanced Segment Anything Model (Res-SAM) to exploit both visual discernibility and wave-changing properties of GPR data.
