In the field of nondestructive inspection, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a widely used investigation tool, usually to evaluate quality and safety in structural engineering. However, its development has been limited due to differences in the dielectric constant in inhomogeneous media. In this study, a time-energy density analysis of wavelet transform (TEDAWT) method for GPR signal singularity recognition was proposed. In addition, a biorthogonal wavelet basis with high similarity to GPR signal waveform was innovatively constructed and added ...
