Abstract(in English) Recently, deterioration of social infrastructures such as tunnels and bridges become a serious social problem. It is required to rapidly and accurately 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 the material and size of the underground object from the radar image obtained the GPR. To objectively and quantitatively investigate from the GPR images by the deep learning, we have automatically and massively generated the GPR images by a fast finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation with graphics processing units (GPUs), and it has been learned the underground object using a deep convolutional neural network (CNN), with the generated GPR images. As the results, we have obtained multilayer layers CNN can identify six materials and size with roughly more than 80% accuracy in some inhomogeneous underground. In this study, to recognize the underground objects from the GPR images, we have developed a super-resolution method for the GPR images by the deep learning using the generative adversarial networks (GAN).
