This work presents the development of an advanced image analysis technique capable of locating buried objects by ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) images. The technique requires only a small amount of operator intervention and is fast enough to provide quasi‐engineering drawings in real time. The work is intended to simplify the interpretation of the complex pattern found in GPR images. A theoretical development of the method is presented. Results on synthetic and real images from different buried objects are presented, and errors < 7% on the object position are observed with laboratory test objects. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
