This book offers an overview of modern advances in Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for the reader hoping to understand comprehensive electromagnetic culture, combining instrumental development of radar, signal processing, imaging, and calibration/correction of measured data. GPR has a multi-disciplinary character that can bring together a diverse and broad community. Of concern are the design and optimization of innovative radars, by virtue of the antennas and associated electronics, imaging algorithms, methodological diversity, calibration procedures, and the development of tools for the interpretation of data in mono-static or multi-static configurations within frequency or transient domains. This book provides illustrations in civil engineering for the diagnosis of transport infrastructures and buildings, archeological surveys for the appreciation of cultural heritage, detection of underground pipes and cavities, estimation of soil water content for agriculture, and mapping of root trees developing underground, and in planetology, the analysis of the internal structure of planets and other celestial bodies through electromagnetic waves.
This book provides a thorough overview of cutting-edge research on electronics applications relevant to industry, the environment, and society at large. It covers a broad spectrum of application domains, from automotive to space and from health to security, while devoting special attention to the use of embedded devices and sensors for imaging, communication and control. The book is based on the 2019 ApplePies Conference, held in Pisa, Italy in September 2019, which brought together researchers and stakeholders to consider the most significant current trends in the field of applied electronics and to debate visions for the future. Areas addressed by the conference included information commun...
This book reports on cutting-edge research and developments focusing on integrating intelligent functionalities into materials, components, systems and products. Gathering the proceedings of the 6th International Conference on System-Integrated Intelligence (SysInt 2022), held on September 7-9, in Genova, Italy, it offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and applied perspective on the state-of-the art and challenges in the field of intelligent, flexible and connected systems. The book covers advanced methods and applications relating to artificial, pervasive and ubiquitous intelligence, sensors, smart factory and logistics, structural health monitoring, as well as soft robotics, cognitive systems and human-machine interaction. Giving a special focus to artificial intelligence, it extensively reports on methods and algorithms for data-driven modeling, and agent-based data processing and planning. It aims at inspiring and fostering collaboration between researchers and professionals from the different fields of electrical, manufacturing and production engineering, and materials and computer sciences.
Ce chapitre aborde les méthodes non linéaires et hybrides pour l'imagerie GPR, visant à cartographier les paramètres électromagnétiques d'objets enfouis. Il présente une approche déterministe non linéarisée basée sur la méthode de Newton inexacte, puis explore des techniques hybrides combinant une méthode qualitative de retard et de somme avec l'algorithme précédent. Des exemples comparatifs démontrent la supériorité de l'approche hybride dans une configuration quasi-monostatique. Mots-clés : inversion non linéaire, méthodes hybrides, imagerie électromagnétique, détection d'objets enfouis. DOI : 10.51926/ISTE.9157.ch2
Il volume, frutto della collaborazione del Comune di Bergeggi con la Soprintendenza ai Beni Archeologici della Liguria e l’Università degli Studi di Genova, raccoglie organicamente la complessa mole di dati e materiali recuperati in otto anni di scavi sul sito denominato Castellaro di Monte S. Elena sulle alture di Bergeggi. L’indagine svolta ha permesso non solo individuare nuove strutture, ma anche di meglio chiarire cronologia e caratteristiche della frequentazione del sito e ottenere dati importanti per la ricostruzione dei commerci nel ponente ligure nel periodo della Romanizzazione e nei secoli immediatamente precedenti.
Cet ouvrage propose une vue d’ensemble des avancées modernes en radar à pénétration de sol (GPR), technologie de nature pluridisciplinaire rassemblant une communauté aussi vaste que diverse. Il traite de la conception et l’optimisation de radars innovants grâce aux antennes et à l’électronique associée, aux algorithmes d’imagerie, à la diversité méthodologique, aux procédures de calibration et au développement d’outils pour l’interprétation des données dans des configurations mono ou multistatiques dans les domaines fréquentiel ou transitoire. Radar à pénétration de sol présente des illustrations en génie civil pour le diagnostic des infrastructures de transport et des bâtiments, des relevés archéologiques pour la valorisation du patrimoine culturel, la détection de tuyaux et de cavités souterrains, l’estimation de la teneur en eau du sol pour l’agriculture, et la cartographie des racines souterraines des arbres. En planétologie, l’analyse de la structure interne des planètes et d’autres corps célestes à l’aide d’ondes électromagnétiques est également menée.
Niki è un bambino di 7 anni che va a scuola, gioca e ama i propri genitori come tutti i bambini della sua età, ma, a differenza dei suoi coetanei, ha una caratteristica che lo rende speciale: Niki è Asperger. Questo libro racconta, in modo semplice e immediato, come questo bambino affronta la sua quotidianità e tutto ciò che un disturbo dello spettro autistico comporta. Niki è determinato e vuole superare le sue difficoltà nel comprendere le parole, i modi di dire e le emozioni che le persone intorno a lui intuiscono così facilmente, nel gestire le relazioni sociali e nel costruire routine ben organizzate. Quanto è faticoso riuscire a fare tutto! Ma per fortuna arriva una fata che c...
This book, based on Transport and Urban Development COST Action TU1208, presents the most advanced applications of ground penetrating radar (GPR) in a civil engineering context, with documentation of instrumentation, methods and results. It explains clearly how GPR can be employed for the surveying of critical transport infrastructure, such as roads, pavements, bridges and tunnels and for the sensing and mapping of underground utilities and voids. Detailed attention is also devoted to use of GPR in the inspection of geological structures and of construction materials and structures, including reinforced concrete, steel reinforcing bars and pre/post-tensioned stressing ducts. Advanced methods for solution of electromagnetic scattering problems and new data processing techniques are also presented. Readers will come to appreciate that GPR is a safe, advanced, non destructive and noninvasive imaging technique that can be effectively used for the inspection of composite structures and the performance of diagnostics relevant to the entire life cycle of civil engineering works.
