Ground penetrating radar technology is used to provide a fast and accurate method for target location compare to other geophysical sensing techniques. An existing ground penetrating radar system developed by Open Fuel (Pty) Ltd is used in the detection and avoidance of obstacles for a sub-surface horizontal directional drill mechanism. This ground penetrating radar system could be implemented as a portable surface-based version of the system for geophysical applications. A factor limiting its implementation is a personal or a laptop computer required to execute the human-machine interface software package for the radar system. Thus, there exists a need to produce a radar user interface to replace the computer required by the current ground penetrating radar system, while maintaining the original functionality of the radar system, while maintaining the original functionality of the radar system. The purpose of this design project was to develop a user interface for a ground penetrating radar system in hardware. The radar user interface had to allow for the autonomous operation of the ground penetrating radar system and the human-machine interface application software. abstract 2014-07-31T11:00:10Z 2014-07-31T11:00:10Z 2005 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5243 eng application/pdf Department of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
