Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a nondestructive testing technology that is widely applied in infrastructure maintenance, archaeological research, military operations, and other geological studies. A crucial step in GPR data processing is the detection and classification of underground structures and buried objects, including reinforcement bars, landmines, pipelines, bedrock, and underground cavities. With the development of machine learning algorithms, traditional methods such as SVM, K-NN, ANN, and HMM, as well as deep learning algorithms, have gradually been incorporated into A-scan, B-scan, and C-scan GPR image processing. This paper provides a summary of the typical machine learning and deep learning algorithms employed in the field of GPR and categorizes them based on the feature extraction method or classifier used. Additionally, this work discusses the sources and forms of data utilized in these studies. Finally, potential future development directions are presented.
