4. The GPR Image should appear clean without
any objects visible. If the GPR image is
degraded or horizontal bands are present
(when the detector is still raised), repeat
the above steps until a clean GPR image is
achieved.
Clean Skyshot: minimal background noise/EMI is visible.
Bad Skyshot: horizontal bands are present in the GPR
Imagery when the detector is still raised.
