Abstract
A method for scanning an area using a ground penetrating radar (GPR) by moving the GPR along at least one scanning trajectory. The method includes determining at least one landmark object image feature by applying object detection techniques to images of the area to be scanned, determining a position and/or type of at least one landmark object corresponding to the at least one landmark object image feature in a scanning-area coordinate frame, determining a candidate position or candidate type of at least one candidate underground asset in the area to be scanned by using the determined position or type of the at least one landmark object determining the at least one scanning trajectory using the candidate position and/or candidate type of the at least one candidate underground asset.
