Abstract(in English) Ground penetrating radar is a technology that detects underground objects by utilizing the reflection of radio waves incident on the ground in places where there is a difference in permittivity, and It is effective for non-destructive sensing of deterioration status such as cavities in social infrastructure. In recent years, by training a large number of radar images in which various types of buried objects generated by physical simulation with FDTD method on the convolutional neural network (CNN), it has become clear that not only the detection of buried objects but identification of the permittivity and size are possible. However, since the frequency and waveform of radio waves emitted by each product of ground penetrating radar are different, it is necessary to regenerate a large number of radar images with the FDTD method for each product. Since the FDTD method requires extremely large computing power, so it is not realistic to regenerate a large number of radar images. In this study, we report that if a large amount of FDTD radar images for one product is prepared in advance, a large amount of pseudo FDTD radar images for the new product can be easily generated using machine learning by preparing only a small amount of FDTD radar images for new product. We also report that we have confirmed that this pseudo FDTD radar image is a valid generated image by a discrimination rate survey by CNN.
