Mastering the OKM Gepard GPR 3D Ground Scanner

In this video, Mark Harris, VP of OKM Americas, guides you through the process of performing a 3D ground scan using the OKM Gepard GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) system. From setup to scanning, and finally analyzing the results, this tutorial is perfect for beginners and experts alike. Filmed at OKM’s headquarters in Altenburg, Germany, Mark demonstrates how the Gepard works in a real-world setting, offering valuable tips on configuring your scan and getting the most accurate results.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Gepard GPR

Mark starts by showing how to configure the Gepard GPR for optimal scanning. He explains how to connect the device to the tablet, select the scan type (3D or 2D), and customize the settings, such as the depth and scan pattern (parallel or zigzag). The focus is on achieving the most accurate readings for buried objects.

Scanning Your Target Area

Once the scan is configured, it’s time to scan the target area. Mark emphasizes the importance of being methodical in your approach. He also shares helpful advice on how to label scans for better tracking, especially if multiple scans are conducted in one day. This ensures you can later pinpoint exactly where each target was found.

After completing the scan, Mark walks you through transferring the data to OKM’s Visualizer 3D Studio (V3DS) software. Here, you can view the scan results and analyze the data. Mark explains how to interpret the scan image and recognize different signatures that indicate buried objects. In this case, a buried pipe appears clearly in the scan, showing the device’s high level of accuracy.

Uncovering Unexpected Finds

As a bonus, Mark discovers something unexpected during the scan — a water pocket hidden beneath the surface. This emphasizes the Gepard GPR’s ability to detect not just man-made objects but also natural features, such as water. Mark demonstrates how to interpret these findings in V3DS, providing deeper insights into the software’s capabilities.

Excavating the Target Object

In the final step, Mark demonstrates how to dig up the target object, confirming the scan results. The video ends with a practical tip on how to ensure your scans are as accurate as possible and how to avoid common mistakes.

Whether you're a novice or an experienced operator, this comprehensive tutorial helps you master the OKM Gepard GPR and get the most out of your 3D scans. Be sure to watch the full video for a hands-on understanding of how this powerful ground scanner works!
