Three Dimensional (3D) Imaging
Technology Behind Imaging SAR Data

Accurate image processing and mapping is the key to usefulness of a Synthetic Aperture Ground Penetrating Radar System. The maps are produced by merging the SAR data, Global Positioning System (GPS) data, mapping and photographic data together to correctly identify buried objects with lower false positive rates than those of the previous generation systems.

Mirage’s Underground Imaging System delivers a true 3D image of the subsurface when operated in the circle SAR (CSAR) mode. To achieve this result, Mirage uses sophisticated Synthetic Aperture Radar techniques, which result in distinct images of individual objects along with their accurate locations below ground. Each voxel (3D pixel) will be geo-referenced so we will know the position of each voxel to ~10cm.
