Everyone hates it when you blame "signal interference" for not being able to see a feature, but it really can be a problem! I find it helps to provide some screenshots of what interference looks like. This troublesome dataset was taken in Brooklyn, NY. You can see some teeny little pipes that imaged just fine with Geolitix in yellow, but also a response from a nearby parked car (on the surface) in magenta, and some electrical interference in Green. It doesn't happen often, but once in a while, we get data down a road that is just LOADED with interference. Powered telecom and large electrical systems are typical culprits. Radar works on the vast majority of landscapes, but there are a few places where GPR will not penetrate, or where there is so much noise it's like trying to listen to bird calls while someone is blasting techno.
Great example! We had a survey crew set up their base station on our site and it made the GPR collection nearly impossible. I finally figured out that he was transmitting on the same frequency. The operators at refineries will mess with your data every time they click the talk button on their walkie-talkies
Welcome to my life. Thanks for sharing
what great analogy with the birds and blasting techno. Use something similar when over gaining on EM locators.
Good info, for the future. Cheers
