Electromagnetic imaging for complex cylindrical objects.
Electronic imaging of complex cylindrical objects with arbitrary cross sections was investigated, assuming an incident wave upon both penetrable inhomogeneous dielectric cylinders and perfectly conducting cylinders with known shape, and external measurements of the scanned field. By properly processing the scattered held measurements, the dielectric permittivity distribution of the scanned object can be reconstructed. A theoretical formulation was based on proper arrangement of the incident field directions resulting in a set of integral equations derived and solved by the moment method and the unrelated illumination method. Numerical results demonstrate the capability of the imaging algorithm. Good reconstruction results were obtained even in the presence of additive random noise. In addition, noise effects on the reconstruction results were investigated.
