In recent years, there has been a significant surge in the utilization of Ground Penetrating
Radar (GPR) for measuring the thickness of subsurface layers, and researchers in this field …

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is an established geophysical technique used extensively
for the accurate reconstruction of the shallow (< 10 m) subsurface. Reconstructions have …

This paper presents some recent applications of sensing, guidance and telerobotic
technology in the coal mining industry. Of special interest is the development of semi or fully …

This paper provides a novel rock-coal interface recognition method based on stacked
sparse autoencoders (SSAE). Given their different size and hardness, coal and rock …

The use of ground penetrating radar (GPR) for detecting the presence of near-surface
interfaces is a scenario of special interest to the underground coal mining industry. The …

Rock related fatalities and injuries are still reported at an alarming rate in South Africa's
deep to ultra-deep level (1500 m to 4500 m from earth surface) hard rock mining/tunneling …

This paper focuses on some important GPR pre-processing tasks. These tasks are
necessary to improve formal target detection and estimation stages. Evaluations performed …

One of the most significant goals in coal mining technology research is the automation of
underground coal mining machinery. A current challenge with automating underground coal …

The objective of this communication is to establish a new technique for GPR data
interpretation using continuous wavelet transform (CWT) approach. In the present study, we …
