Research in Image Understanding as Applied to 3-D Microwave Tomographic Imaging with Near Optical Resolution.

Abstract

The objective of research under this grant is to achieve fundamental understanding of the dynamics of coherent and incoherent image formation and inverse scattering employing spectral, angular (aspect dependent) and polarization diversity as means for realizing cost-effective imaging of 3-D objects with near optical resolution. Special attention is to be given to 3-D microwave diversity radar imaging. The approach is Theoretical - through development of a unified theory of microwave diversity imaging for both stationary and non-stationary objects which has been reported on extensively in preceeding reports and, Experimental - through development and verification of methodologies for efficient microwave diversity imaging that can be employed in future broad-band imaging radar networks capable of providing 3-D projective or tomographic images of remote aerospace targets with near optical resolution.
