Abstract: The key to remove hidden danger of subterranean termites in dykesand dams is how to find out the nests. Our study indicates that the subteraneantermites nests can be exactly discovered for the underspace positions by usingGrand Penertrating Radar, mastered thief image features and the calculation forthief deepth and size. As the method has got a higher effieciency and a highergeometric resolving power, and image showing in right time, it is regarded abreak through in the field of the subteranean termites nests detection. It can beconsidered of great value for application, and has good prospect in its development.
