We propose an automatic algorithm for estimating object depth using f-k migration and velocity scanning methods in a homogeneous medium. To improve the accuracy of the algorithm, the formula used to calculate the GPR valid lateral aperture is also presented. Experimental results show that the relative estimating error of depth is as low as 5% in a homogeneous medium.展开更多
