GPR Advanced Module (GPR-3) is SPH Engineering's self-study video course on GPR signal propagation, data processing and interpretation. It is for experienced GPR users. HobiTech coordinates enrolment for customers in India.
How it works
- After successful payment, the course is unlocked for your account in the Academy of SPH Engineering platform.
- Once enrolled, you can finish at your own pace.
- After successfully passing the exam, you receive a certificate from SPH Engineering that can be shared on LinkedIn.
What does the GPR-3 self-study course cover?
The course provides an advanced-level explanation of the theoretical background of GPR signal propagation, with insights into GPR data processing and interpretation from theoretical, practical and philosophical perspectives. It includes detailed descriptions of methods for determining GPR signal propagation speed. The SPH Engineering Academy lists the course length as 3 hours. Topics include:
- Electromagnetic properties that affect GPR signal propagation through soil
- Methods for determining GPR signal propagation speed
- GPR data processing techniques
- Survey planning
SPH Engineering states that on completing the course, participants are expected to plan surveys, collect field data, and process and interpret the acquired data independently. The course is delivered by SPH Engineering; HobiTech coordinates enrolment for customers in India. See the GPR-3 course page on the SPH Engineering Academy for the current details.
Who should take GPR-3, and what do you need to know first?
SPH Engineering intends GPR-3 for people with a foundational understanding of GPR, ideally with substantial experience in GPR operations. The Academy also lists knowledge of Prism and GeoHammer software as required. If you are not there yet, start with the earlier levels. The SPH GPR programme has 3 course levels, each offered as self-study or trainer-led:
| Course | Focus | Self-study | Trainer-led |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPR-1: GPR on a UAV | Planning, configuring and flying GPR surveys on a drone | GPR-1 self-study | GPR-1 trainer-led |
| GPR-2: GPR Basics | Foundations of GPR signals, profiles and resolution | GPR-2 self-study | GPR-2 trainer-led |
| GPR-3: GPR Advanced Module | Signal propagation theory, data processing and interpretation | This course | GPR-3 trainer-led |
When you want a formal assessment of your skills, SPH also offers the Practical Exam & Certification for GPR. See all options on our GPR training page or the full training and certification page.
What hardware and software does the course relate to?
GPR-3 applies to data from SPH Engineering's drone GPR integrated system. On its GPR technology page, SPH lists Radar Systems Zond Aero radars from 50 MHz to 1000 MHz, with post-processing in GeoHammer, Prism2 or Geolitix. The Zond Aero 500, for example, typically reaches about 1 to 2 m. HobiTech supplies:
- GeoHammer Pro data processing software
- Ground penetrating radars, including the Zond Aero 500 "NG"
- The SkyHub software package for GPR for logging radar data with GNSS and altimeter data
- UgCS EXPERT for survey planning and terrain following
