A Direct Imaging Algorithm for Extended Targets
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a direct imaging algorithm for extended targets. The algorithm is based on a physical factorization of the response matrix of a transducer array and the Multi-Signal Classification (MUSIC) imaging function is used to visualize the results. A resolution and noise level based thresholding strategy is developed for regularization. The algorithm is simple and efficient since no forward solver or iteration is needed. Multiple-frequency information improves both resolution and stability of the algorithm. Efficiency and robustness of the algorithm with respect to measurement noise and random medium fluctuations are demonstrated.

A Data Focusing method for Microwave Imaging of Extended Targets
This paper presents a data focusing method (DFM) to image extended targets using the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. The restriction on the number of transmitter-receiver antennas in a microwave imaging system deteriorates profiling an extended target that comprises many point scatterers. Under such situation, the subspace-based linear inverse scattering methods, like the MUSI...

We present a direct imaging algorithm for extended targets using far field data generated by incident plane waves. The algorithm uses a factorization of the response matrix for far field data that derives from physical considerations, moreover, a resolution based regularization. The algorithm is simple and efficient since no forward solver or iteration is needed. Efficiency and robustness of th...

A direct imaging algorithm for point and extended targets is presented. The algorithm is based on a physical factorization of the response matrix of a transducer array. The factorization is used to transform a passive target problem to an active source problem and to extract principal components (tones) in a phase consistent way. The multitone imaging function can superpose multiple tones (spat...
