Processing the raw radar data into 3D images involves several steps.
Data is filtered with pre-processing algorithms that align traces
in each channel and balance channels with filters that remove static
shifts and match the mean (or median) response across channels (based
on a reasonable assumptions about the response in certain areas
of the survey). Radar data is then merged with geometry data, gridded
and migrated to produce 3D radar images of the subsurface.

Image processing and visualization software is then
used to extract features from the 3D radar images. A typical final
product consists of slices through the radar image, along with extracted
features that are rendered in a CAD plan/profile drawing. These
final maps can be merged with client CAD
drawings if available and imported into most common GIS platforms.
