RGPR: a free and open-source software package for ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data processing

RGPR is a free and open-source software package to read, export, analyse, process and visualise ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data. RGPR is written in R, a high-level programming language for statistical computing and graphics that is freely available under the GNU General Public License and runs on Linux, Windows and MacOS. R is a interpreted scripting language (not compiled) in the same veine as python or matlab.

RGPR was initially developed to compensate for shortcomings of commercial GPR data processing applications. The ultimate goal of RGPR is to promote GPR related research by providing access to the flexible and rich R environment. RGPR has also a didactic vocation by encouraging students and researchers to learn about GPR signal processing through various tutorials available on the RGPR GitHub repository and the R documentation.

Notes

Supported file formats:

  • Sensors & Software file format (*.dt1, *.hd).
  • MALA file format (*.rd3, *.rd7, *.rad).
  • RadSys Zond GPR file format (*.sgy). WARNING: it is not like the usual SEG-Y file format).
  • ImpulseRadar format (*.iprb, *.iprh).
  • GSSI file format (*.dtz).
  • ASCII (*.txt):
    • either 3-column format (x, t, amplitude)
    • or matrix-format (without header/rownames)
  • R internal format (*.rds).
  • ENVI band sequential file format (*.dat, *.hdr).
  • SEG-Y -> we are working on it

See tutorial Import GPR data.

Do you miss your preferred file format? Send me the file format description with a test file and I will adapt the RGPR-package to support this file format.

Current limitations

RGPR only support reflection data such as surface-based GPR data (no support for cross-borehole GPR data)
