To reduce the impact of attenuation and dispersion in ground penetrating radar (GPR) detection and to effectively improve GPR profile recording and to identify a weak detection target, a high-resolution processing method based on orthogonal matching pursuit and wavelet spectrum whitening (the OMWS method) is presented. First, according to the matching pursuit algorithm and the strong reflection-forming mechanism and based on sparse representation theory, a sparse dictionary suitable for the characteristics of a strong reflection signal was selected, and the signal was decomposed, which display...
