Shrnutí:Moisture damage is one of the major defects in asphalt pavement, and will evolve into potholes in a short time which will affect traffic safety. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is an effective non-destructive testing (NDT) method for detecting moisture damage but its data explanation replies on human experience and subjects to labor intensive. To address this issue, an automatic detection method based on extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) combined with Bayesian hyper-parameter optimization (BHPO) was proposed to detect moisture damage area from GPR traces. High frequency GPR antenna with 2.3 GHz was used to detect the moisture damage area from simulation, laboratory and field tests, and moisture damage dataset with 7960 traces was collected. Thirty time-frequency parameters were extracted from each GPR trace, normalized to unify the three data source, and then optimized into 12 sensitive parameters by feature importance method. These 12 parameters were used to build the recognition model with XGBoost, and the model tuning parameters were optimized by BHPO. To obtain optimization model, random forest (RF) and artificial neural network (ANN) were also trained with BHPO, and compared with XGBoost model. The results indicate that performance of XGBoost model with BHPO achieves the highest accuracy and lowest time cost both in moisture damage and normal trace classification, the accuracies for moisture damage are XGBoost (96.9%) > ANN (95.6%) > RF (95.4%), respectively, and normal are XGBoost (96.5%) > RF (96.1%) and ANN (96.0%), respectively. On this basis, field tests were conducted by core samples, which verified the correct result of XGBoost model. Our method provides a swift and accurate method to locate subsurface targets directly from GPR signals. •30 time-frequency features were extracted for representing moisture damage.•12 sensitive features were optimized by feature importance analysis.•XGBoost with BHPO was adopted to locate moisture damage from GPR signal.•Normalizing method was used to combine features from different data source.•BHPO-XGBoost model reaches high accuracy with 96.9%.
