Abstract A single-channel, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) profile portrays a distorted, unfocused image of subsurface structure due to apparent position shifts associated with dipping reflectors and to diffractions from corners and edges. A focused image may be produced from such data by using any of the migration algorithms previously developed for seismic data; we use reverse-time migration based on the scalar wave equation. Field work was performed over a simple stratigraphic soil sequence and a complicated fluvial environment. In the migrated images, reflector continuity is enhanced and the level of detail available for high-resolution interpretation is significantly increased.
