A multiarray tomographic approach for through-wall imaging

A through-wall imaging problem for a 2-D scalar geometry is addressed. It is cast as an inverse scattering problem and tackled under the linear Born model by means of the truncated singular value decomposition inversion scheme. A multiarray-based inversion strategy is considered. In particular, first the data collected by each single array are processed to obtain different tomographic images of the same scene under test. Then, the different images are suitably combined to obtain the overall image. The inversion scheme is tested for the challenging case of objects located within a complex environment resembling a room in a building.
