A UWB radar imaging algorithm of complex-shaped objects based on global optimization

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The SEABED method, which is an fast imaging algorithm with UWB pulse radar systems, makes it possible to image 3-D unknown targets by using a reversible transform between target shape and antenna position besides distance to the target. The antenna position and distance constitutes a curved surface called "quasi-wavefront". We can directly estimate the target shape with this transform if we can extract the quasi-wavefront from observed data. However, in case of observing complex-shaped targets, it is difficult to image them correctly because the received signals interfere each other with the echos from plural reflected points. Conventional studies, which extracted the quasi-wavefront at each antenna position, have a serious fault that the determined values at the interfered region are not accurate. In order to overcome this problem, we propose to estimate all quasi-wavefronts simultaneously from the received signal waveform at all antenna positions by treating the problem as an optimization of a cost function.
