There are often many hidden structural defects in heritage buildings. As a convenient and effective nondestructive detecting method, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has a technical advantage in detecting and protecting heritage buildings depending on the advanced image interpretation. The analytic relationship between buried depth and radius of point object and long and short axis of hyperbolic equation was established according to derivations of formulas. The image characteristics of hyperbolic curves with different depth and radius were studied by finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD). And then, inversion models of buried depth and radius of point object were established. The buried depth and radius can be accurately deduced by long and short axis of hyperbolic image. This result was applied in the detection of pedestal defects of the heritage building, and the depth and distribution range of hidden fracture can be accurately interpreted. It provides an effective and fast method to detect hidden defects in civil engineering.
