Abstract
Through-the-wall radar imaging utilizes electromagnetic wave propagation to reveal the locations of obscured targets. Indirect signal propagation paths, usually considered a nuisance, may be used to improve the quality of through-the-wall radar images. However, imperfect knowledge of the surrounding scatterers, i.e. the interior walls of a building, has adverse effects on such multipath exploitation schemes. We propose a joint scene reconstruction and wall position estimation approach based on compressive sensing. This enables effective and reliable utilization of indirect propagation paths resulting in clutter-free images of stationary indoor scenes. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.Keywords
