This study presents a technique for processing step-frequency continuous-wave (SFCW) ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data to detect tree roots. SFCW GPR is portable and enables precise control of energy levels, balancing depth and resolution tradeoffs. However, the high-frequency components of the tr...
