Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Identification of shallowly buried landmines using ground penetrating radar (GPR) data is studied. Three kinds of features for target identification are proposed: (a) time interval between two pulses reflected from top and bottom sides of the objects, (b) normalized waveform correlation, and (c) dispersion of arrival time of target responses. Since the identification considered here is reduced to a classification problem of a desired target and other clutter objects, a support vector machine (SVM) is employed as a classifier. In order to evaluate the identification performance, we carry out a Monte Carlo simulation using dataset generated by the FDTD method. The results show that good identification performance is obtained.
