Inverse Scattering of Three-Dimensional PEC Objects Using the Level-Set Method
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 116, 23-47, 2011
Abstract
A 3D shape reconstruction algorithm for multiple PEC objects immersed in air is presented. The Hamilton-Jacobi PDE is solved in the entire computational domain with employing the marching cubes method to retrieve the evolving objects. The method of moment surface integral equation is used as the forward solver. An appropriate form of the deformation velocity, based on the forward and adjoint fields, is implemented to minimize the mismatch between the reference and evolving objects. The inversion algorithm showed good shape reconstruction results even using limited view data or noise corrupted data down to SNR of 5 dB.
