Pre-processing and Workflow

Establishing a Workflow

Before the break in the previous sessions we have learned about the individual steps on how to process ground radar data sets. Summarizing the individual steps together we get the following work-flow scheme.

Please note, that depending on your research question the 3D export and analysis part is optional.

Workflow for processing GPR data

Session task

Please draft two R-scripts for you as templates. For both scripts:

  • save the R-scripts files with the prefix or appendix “_template” attached.
  • Check if all functions are working with the proposed sample data.

R-Script 1

  • You are analyzing a single line (like the “tagliamento” data).
  • Include a path and data structure as well as the libraries.
  • Prepare your script with all the necessary steps you learned in the sessions before. You can use the work-flow graph as help to structure the steps.
  • Give your variables and objects recognizable and reusable names. So that you can use it for different data sets and assignments in the future!
  • Write short comments to remind you of important information above your code with the # - symbol.

R-Script 2

  • Make the same script again but your data set is like the “Gird-dir2-Rawdata” .
  • Check if you can read in multiple lines and proceed.
