Abstract(in English) Recently, deteriorations of social infrastructures such as tunnels and bridges become a serious social problem. It is required to properly and rapidly detect for abnormal parts of the social infrastructures. The ground penetrating radar (GPR) is efficient for the social infrastructure inspection. However, it is difficult to identify material and size of the underground object from the radar image obtained the GPR. In this study, to objectively and quantitatively inspect from the GPR images by the deep learning, %for a social infrastructure using the GPR, we have automatically and massively generated the GPR images by a fast finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation on graphics processing units (GPUs), and have learned the underground object using the generated GPR images by a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). It is shown that we have obtained five layers CNN can identify five materials and size with roughly 80 % accuracy in in-homogeneous underground media.
