A Target Shape Estimation Algorithm Based on Boundary Scattering Transform for UWB Pulse Radar Systems

摘要

Environment measurement is an important issue for various applications including household robots. Radars utilizing ultra-wide-band (UWB) pulses are promising candidates in a near future. Estimating target shapes using waveform data, which we obtain by scanning an omni-directional antenna, is known as one of ill-posed inverse problems. We have shown the existence of a reversible transform BST (Boundary Scattering Transform) between a delay time and a target shape. We have already proposed a shape estimation algorithm based on the inverse BST. In this paper, we investigate the range of applicable conditions for the algorithm. Key words
