Basic Research in Three-Dimensional Imaging from Transient Radar Scattering Signatures.
Abstract
Accomplishments during the first year of an effort concerned with imaging of cone-like targets from measured and calculated data are described. The low frequency portion of the required transient response data were measured and calculated. Approximate time domain ramp response signature waveforms were generated and their relation to target geometry examined. Three-dimensional images were generated for all targets using available data. Investigation was initiated on several aspects of imaging procedures: (1) automated iterative limiting surface imaging, (2) image confidence vs. target characteristics and the extent of known scattering data, (3) ideal relationships between geometry and scattering signature features based on physical optics inverse scattering theory, and (4) effects on image quality of limited data in frequency and aspect angle.
