Uncommon Applications of Computer Assisted Radar Tomography

Computer Assisted Radar Tomography (CART) is typically best fit for projects where the density of subsurface targets is high. It has proved to be invaluable in subsurface utility engineering (SUE) projects and for cemetery mapping projects. In addition to such projects, we have found that CART is very useful when high positioning accuracy is required, when a large amount of unimportant targets exist in the subsurface, and when the project requirements include determining accurate target sizes and shapes. Due to the ease of data acquisition and breakthroughs in data processing, these surveys can still be performed cost-effectively. Over the past few years, we have encountered many interesting applications for this technology. This paper will highlight some of these applications: archaeology, depth profiling projects, and biological preservation.
