Summary :

This study proposes a low-complexity permittivity estimation for ground penetrating radar applications based on a contrast source inversion (CSI) approach, assuming multilayered ground media. The homogeneity assumption for each background layer is used to address the ill-posed condition while maintaining accuracy for permittivity reconstruction, significantly reducing the number of unknowns. Using an appropriate initial guess for each layer, the post-CSI approach also provides the dielectric profile of a buried object. The finite difference time domain numerical tests show that the proposed approach significantly enhances reconstruction accuracy for buried objects compared with the traditional CSI approach.
