In order to improve the reliability of ground-penetrating radars in the detection of rock mass fissures in grottoes, this study proposes a ground-penetrating radar detection method with the logging data constraint, which is applied to detect the fractured rock mass in the Baodingshan Scenic Area of Dazu Rock Carvings, Chongqing, China. First, conventional logging and borehole televiewer data were compared and verified, yielding detailed lithological and wellbore fissure information. Next, electromagnetic wave velocity was calibrated using GPR profile and the depth of the stratigraphic interface determined by borehole data. Utilizing this calibrated velocity, we are able to accurately calculate the depth values of anomalies in GPR interpretation profiles. Subsequently, we compared the preliminary GPR interpretation profile with the borehole televiewer images. After eliminating false anomalies caused by interference, we obtained more reliable location information for detection targets such as fissures, fracture zones, and weak interlayers. The results of fissure detection in the Dazu Rock Carvings indicate that the detection results of ground-penetrating radar are verified and supplemented under the constraints of stratigraphic and well-wall fissure information obtained by logging. This effectively mitigates the influence of multiplicity and false anomalies of GPR detection on interpretation results. GPR with the logging data constraint enhances the accuracy of the fissure detection results, providing novel technical means for the protection and restoration of grotto relics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15184452","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,11]],"date-time":"2023-09-11T09:09:21Z","timestamp":1694423361000},"page":"4452","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Application of Ground-Penetrating Radar with the Logging Data Constraint in the Detection of Fractured Rock Mass in Dazu Rock Carvings, Chongqing, China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Wenxing","family":"Yuan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, 938 Ximinzhu Street, Changchun 130026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6660-6780","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sixin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, 938 Ximinzhu Street, Changchun 130026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiancheng","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, 938 Ximinzhu Street, Changchun 130026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, 938 Ximinzhu Street, Changchun 130026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1269-7848","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qi","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, 938 Ximinzhu Street, Changchun 130026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CGE (Chongqing) Geological Instrument Co., Ltd., Chongqing 400032, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhilian","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geo-Exploration Science and Technology, Jilin University, 938 Ximinzhu Street, Changchun 130026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1199","DOI":"10.1007\/s10064-019-01645-5","article-title":"Experimental Investigation on the Correlation between Rainfall Infiltration and the Deterioration of Wall Paintings at Mogao Grottoes, China","volume":"79","author":"Liu","year":"2020","journal-title":"Bull.
