Description | In this project at the University of Leeds we investigated how to interpret and integrate sensor data relating to observations of underground utility assets with a view to producing automated mapping of these assets. We have made advances along a number of fronts: - new and better methods to interpret vibro acoustic data - new and better methods to interpret Ground Pentrating Radar data - new and better methods to interpret other electro magnetic wave sensor data - new methods to combine the results of sensor interpretations to produce automated maps of buried utility apparatus |
Exploitation Route | The results of this project were used in the follow on Assessing the Underworld project (EP/K021699/1) and the EU FP7 NetTUN project (grant agreement 280712). Some of papers related to this project have been cited may times by researchers at other institutions. In general, we have provided methods to interpret sensor data, in particular GPR data, which is a very widely used sensor in multiple domains, not just underground utility detection (for example in tunnel boring machines, mine detection and other applications). |
