在过去的几年里，探地雷达(GPR)技术在几个不同的领域得到了广泛的应用，包括考古学和文化遗产诊断。通过有效控制探地雷达的路径和姿态，将探地雷达与全球定位系统(GPS)和惯性测量单元(IMU)等其他定位设备相结合，可以显著提高埋藏物体的定位精度。本文旨在研究地面车辆或高空平台搭载探地雷达时如何准确定位埋藏物的解决方案。特别是，提出了一种低成本的系统，它集成了GPS和IMU的功能，专门用于探地雷达。设计、实现了该装置，并在实验室中对其性能进行了测试。
In the last years, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology has been extensively used in several different fields, including archaeology and cultural-heritage diagnostics. The integration of GPR with other positioning devices, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), can significantly improve the accuracy of buried-object location, by means of an efficient control of GPR route and attitude. This article aims at investigating solutions for an accurate location of buried objects when a GPR is pulled by a terrestrial vehicle or carried by an aerial platform. In particular, a low-cost system is presented, which integrates functionalities of GPS and IMU specifically dedicated to GPR use. The device has been designed, realized and finally its performance was tested in the laboratory.
