    Abstract
  • Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a shallow detection technology widely used in municipal pipeline detection. To enhance the understanding of GPR image characteristics for underground pipeline detection, refine the identification effects of GPR under different working conditions, and improve the interpretation accuracy of radar data, this research starts from the principles of GPR detection, finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation, and on-site pipeline detection scenarios. Using the forward modeling software gprMax, models with different factors were established, including various materials, shapes, pipe diameters, burial depths, water-filling degrees, and heterogeneous media. The characteristics of forward modeling profiles were summarized, the forming factors of corresponding response characteristics were analyzed, and the impacts of different parameters on detection effects were sorted out. Through the comparison between simulation and field measurement results, it is proven that forward modeling analysis can provide references for engineering field measurements.
