Abstract(in English) In this study, to automatically detect underground objects from the ground penetrating radar (GPR) images by the deep neural network (DNN), we have generated GPR images for training the DNN using a fast finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation with graphics processing units (GPUs). Also, we have obtained characteristics of underground objects using the generated GPR images with a convolutional neural network (CNN) and finetuning using a modified VGG16 trained by the ImageNet. It is shown that the CNN and the VGG16 can identify four materials of experimental GPR images roughly 75% and 80% accuracy, respectively.
