The size of an object can be estimated using an advanced version of the
Hyperbola fit-
ting
tool, which is not available in the simplified version of the software included with
MALÅ Easy Locator HDR. Comparing the signatures from two linear objects (e.g. pipes)
of different size (diameter) buried at exactly the same depth and scanned at exactly 90
degrees, there is likely to be a clear difference in their respective signatures.
Note:
Within these limits, it is possible to determine that one object is larger/smaller than the
other, but the exact size of an object should never be estimated using MALÅ Easy Locator
HDR.
Under favorable conditions and using advanced hyperbola fitting tools, the following
examples demonstrate some of the capabilities of GPR in the hands of an experienced
user.
