Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Recently, deterioration of social infrastructures such as tunnels and bridges becomes serious social problem. It is required to rapidly and accurately detect for abnormal parts of the social infrastructures. The ground penetrating radar (GPR) is efficient for the social infrastructure inspection, but, it is difficult to identify the material and size of the underground object from the radar image obtained the GPR. In our previous studies, we have massively generated the GPR images by a fast finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation, we make learned the generated GPR images to the convolution neural network (CNN). As the results, it has been clarified that the relative permittivity and size of the object can be identified from the underground radar images. However, when using real images of construction sites, correct labels such as the relative permittivity of buried objects can only be examined by digging the ground, and supervised learning is not practical. In this study, we use the unsupervised learning of radar images using variational auto encoders (VAE), and mapping high-dimensional information of radar images to latent space. And we report that the identification rate is improved, by semi-supervised learning to give correct labels to some of these latent variables.
