Multi-Resolution Subspace-Based Optimization Method for the Retrieval of 2D Perfect Electric Conductors
Perfect Electric Conductors (PECs) are imaged integrating the subspace-based optimizationmethod (SOM) within the iterative multi-scaling scheme (IMSA). Without a-priori information on the number or/and the locations of the scatterers and modelling their EM scattering interactions with a (known) probing source in terms of surface electric field integral equations, a segment-based representation of PECs is retrieved from the scattered field samples. The proposed IMSA-SOM inversion method is validated against both synthetic and experimental data by assessing the reconstruction accuracy, the robustness to the noise, and the computational efficiency with some comparisons, as well.
