abstract = {For high-resolution crosshole ground-penetrating radar
(GPR) tomography, a wide-range of ray path angles are
required, including transmitter-receiver pairs with
high-angles. However, artefacts have been observed in the
inverted GPR tomograms when high-angle data were
incorporated in ray-based inversion (RBI) tomography, due to
not well-understood increasing apparent velocities for
increasing ray-angles. To reduce these artefacts, it is
common practice to limit the angular aperture to a threshold
between 30° to 50°, which reduces the spatial resolution.
We apply 3D finite-difference time-domain GPR modelling
including borehole fluid and resistive loaded finite-length
antenna models to study the increase of apparent velocity
with increasing ray path angle. This study shows that the
strong refraction of the electromagnetic waves at the
borehole interface between water and subsurface is one of
the reasons for these not well-understood phenomena. We
introduce a novel borehole-fluid effect correction (BFEC)
that relocates the transmitter and receiver positions to the
location where the refraction is occurring to remove any
influence of the borehole such that the remaining
traveltimes can be inverted using an RBI. BFEC improves the
estimated apparent-velocity (relative permittivity) values
and enables the incorporation of wide-angle ray paths
resulting in more accurate tomograms. We verify the BFEC for
a homogenous and realistic synthetic model. By applying
curved-ray RBI without and with the BFEC, the subsurface
structures are reconstructed with more details for the BFEC
data and average relative error model reduced from $13\%$ to
under $9\%$ for the high-resolution inhomogeneous model.},
