Numerical Simulation of Underground Plant Rhizome Detection

Article Preview

Abstract:

Attention is put on FDTD algorithm to simulate electromagnetic travelling underground with XFDTD software in this paper to get echo data of underground plant rhizome. A reasonable simulation model is established with some permittivity and conductivity, and choice of grid size and absorbing boundary is supposed to simulate detecting ability for plant rhizome. Adding noise model is supported and wavelet threshold de-noising algorithm is used to process echo signal with noise, and root mean square error (RMSE) is obtained with different SNR. At the same SNR, the relationship of target echo and object size is presented.
