Title Deep learning-based detection of tree roots in confined soil environments
Summary Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a crucial non-invasive tool for imaging tree roots. It is particularly important for detecting rotten roots and assessing the structural stability of trees. By providing real-time and high-resolution subsurface imagery, GPR enhances the assessment of tree health and helps prevent potential hazards and fatal tree fall accidents caused by weakened root systems.

In this project, the student will help the research team by implementing AI algorithms for our ultra-wideband GPR with the following responsibilities:

- Developing a semi-supervised learning algorithm-based denoiser and a supervised learning algorithm-based imager
- Combining these algorithms to detect roots of trees in confined areas, such as the roots of trees in skyscrapers
- Development of the database for machine learning algorithms via measurements

The current study primarily involves software development and measurement campaigns.
