0. RGPR ground penetrating radar processing software

How to install

You must first install R. Then, in R console, enter the following:

if(!require("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("emanuelhuber/RGPR")
library(RGPR)

frenkeLine00  # data from the package

plot(frenkeLine00)

Notes

Supported file formats (read only):

• Sensors & Software file format (*.dt1, *.hd, *.gps).
• MALA file format (*.rd3, *.rd7, *.rad, *.cor).
• ImpulseRadar file format (*.iprb, *.iprh, *.cor, *.time, *.mrk).
• GSSI file format (*.dzt, *.dzx).
• Geomatrix Earth Science Ltd file format (Utsi Electronics format) for the GroundVue 3, 7, 100, 250 and 400 as well as for the TriVue devices (*.dat, *.hdr, *.gpt, *.gps).
• Radar Systems, Inc. Zond file format (*.sgy). WARNING: it is not a version of the SEG-Y file format.
• SEG-Y file format developed by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) for storing geophysical data (*.sgy), also used by Easy Radar USA
• 3dradar: the manufacturer does not want to reveal the binary file format *.3dra. Workaround: export the GPR data in binary VOL format (*.vol) with the examiner software -> still experimental
• R internal format (*.rds).
• serialized Python object (*.pkl).
• ENVI band sequential file format (*.dat, *.hdr).
• ASCII (*.txt):
  • either 3-column format (x, t, amplitude)
  • or matrix-format (without header/rownames)
• Terra Zond binary file format (*.trz) -> we are working on it

See tutorial Import GPR data.

Do you miss your preferred file format? Send me the file format description with a test file and I will adapt the RGPR-package to support this file format.

Supported export file formats

• Sensors & Software file format (*.dt1, *.hd).
• R internal format (*.rds).
• ASCII (*.txt):
• SEG-Y file format (*.sgy) -> we are working on it

Current limitations

RGPR only support reflection data such as surface-based GPR data (no support for cross-borehole GPR data)
