A Weak-Signal-Aware Framework for Subsurface Defect Detection: Mechanisms for Enhancing Low-SCR Hyperbolic Signatures

2026-04-07 · Wenbo Zhang, Zekun Long, Zican Liu, Yangchen Zeng, Keyi Hu arxiv

Subsurface defect detection via Ground Penetrating Radar is challenged by "weak signals" faint diffraction hyperbolas with low signal-to-clutter ratios, high wavefield similarity, and geometric degradation. Existing lightweight detectors prioritize efficiency over sensitivity, failing to preserve low-frequency structures or decouple heterogeneous clutter. We propose WSA-Net, a framework designed to enhance faint signatures through physical-feature reconstruction. Moving beyond simple parameter reduction, WSA-Net integrates four mechanisms: Signal preservation using partial convolutions; Clutter suppression via heterogeneous grouping attention; Geometric reconstruction to sharpen hyperbolic arcs; Context anchoring to resolve semantic ambiguities. Evaluations on the RTSTdataset show WSA-Net achieves 0.6958 mAP@0.5 and 164 FPS with only 2.412 M parameters. Results prove that signal-centric awareness in lightweight architectures effectively reduces false negatives in infrastructure inspection.
