Nonparametric and accurate imaging algorithm for a target with arbitrary motion using multi-static UWB radar
Ultra-wideband pulse radar is a promising technology for the imaging sensors of rescue robots operating in disaster scenarios, where optical sensors are not applicable because of dark smog or high-density gas. For the above application, while one promising ultra-wideband radar imaging algorithm for a target with arbitrary motion has already been proposed with a compact observation model, it is based on an ellipsoidal approximation of the target boundary, and is thus hardly applicable to complex target shapes, particularly when targets have specular surfaces or surface edges. To tackle the above problem, this paper proposes a non-parametric and robust imaging algorithm for a target with arbitrary motion including rotation and translation using multi-static radar, which is based on the matching of target boundary points obtained by range points migration extended to this model. To enhance the imaging accuracy in situations having lower signal-to-noise ratios, the proposed method also adopts an integration scheme for the obtained range points, where the equivalent antenna locations are correctly compensated for the estimated target motion. Results from numerical simulations show that the proposed method accurately extracts the surface of a moving target, and estimates the motion of the target, without any target or motion model.
