An Improved GPR Method Based on BP and RPCA for Tunnel Lining Defects Detection and Its Application in Qiyue Mountain Tunnel, China

Tunnel lining defects are one of the most common problems that tunnels experience during operation, and they can pose severe safety risks. The most popular nondestructive testing method for detecting tunnel lining defects is ground penetrating radar (GPR), one of the basic geophysical applications....
