Some final thoughts Warning: processing can introduce artifacts in the data and lead to wrong interpretations What really matters is that the final interpretation is valid, and although processing is important, ultimately, the key to good data interpretation is good data collection in the first place. in Cassidy (2009) Chapter 5 - Ground Penetrating Radar Data Processing, Modelling and Analysis, In Ground Penetrating Radar Theory and Applications, (Eds Harry M. Jol,), Elsevier, Amsterdam, pp: 141-176, ISBN 9780444533487 . A good practical mantra for most users to adopt is if it cannot be seen in the raw data – is it really there? As such, processing steps should be used to improve the raw-data quality, therefore, making interpretation easier . In practice, this means increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of coherent responses and presenting the data in a format that reflects the subsurface conditions accurately. in Cassidy (2009) Chapter 5 - Ground Penetr...
