abstract = {We present a new algorithm for the inversion of
full-waveform ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data. It is
designed to tame the non-linearity issue that afflicts
inverse scattering problems, especially in high contrast
media. We first investigate the limitations of current
full-waveform time-domain inversion schemes for GPR data and
then introduce a much-improved approach based on a combined
frequency-time-domain analysis. We show by means of several
synthetic tests and theoretical considerations that local
minima trapping (common in full bandwidth time-domain
inversion) can be avoided by starting the inversion with
only the low frequency content of the data. Resolution
associated with the high frequencies can then be achieved by
progressively expanding to wider bandwidths as the
iterations proceed. Although based on a frequency analysis
of the data, the new method is entirely implemented by means
of a time-domain forward solver, thus combining the benefits
of both frequency-domain (low frequency inversion conveys
stability and avoids convergence to a local minimum; whereas
high frequency inversion conveys resolution) and time-domain
methods (simplicity of interpretation and recognition of
events; ready availability of FDTD simulation tools).},
