A realistic 2D multi-offset, multi-frequency synthetic GPR data set as a benchmark for testing new algorithms

We present a 2D multi-offset, multi-frequency synthetic GPR data set specifically designed to evaluate and test processing, analysis and inversion techniques. The data set replicates realistic subsurface conditions at four sections separated by 2 m. We modeled four multi-offset GPR profiles at 50, 100 and 200 MHz frequencies using realistic wavelets. The data set provides a robust framework for validating advanced GPR algorithms and techniques such as pre-stack depth migration, amplitude versus offset analysis and full waveform inversion. Extensive technical validation ensures data reproducibility and affordability. The standardized, realistic synthetic data set can be used as a reliable benchmark for developing and testing new algorithms and methods, thereby advancing the understanding of subsurface imaging and real-world data interpretation.
