    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for simulating synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images to be captured by a radar-based imaging system. SAR technology can be used to capture large areas on Earth, from a satellite in space for example, over a single pass. A further pass over the target area can help identify changes in the landscape, scenery, and/or infrastructure providing insight on change detection, temporal analysis, or other measures; however, repeat passes over the target area may have been made from differing angles resulting in artifacts in one or both of the processed images from the two passes. In various embodiments, information about the topology of the target area, and information about the SAR platform's flight path are used to simulate the slant range distortion effects that are to be expected in the SAR image of for that pass.

    Abstract: A radar apparatus for obtaining a higher range resolution than conventional radar apparatus without increasing the bandwidth comprises a transmitter antenna that transmits a frequency modulated transmit signal having a transmit bandwidth and a receiver antenna that receives a receive signal reflected from said scene in response to the transmission of said transmit signal. A mixer mixes said receive signal with said transmit signal to obtain a mixed receive signal, a sampling unit samples said mixed receive signal to obtain receive signal samples from a period of said receive signal, and a processor processes said receive signal samples by defining a measurement matrix and determines the positions of one or more targets of the scene by applying compressive sensing using said measurement matrix and said receive signal samples. A post-processor groups together receive signal samples having a depth within the same depth bin and belonging to the same target.

    Abstract: A method for adaptively selecting a ground penetrating radar (GPR) image for detecting a moisture damage is provided. The method adaptively selects the GPR image according to a contrast of the GPR image. The method includes the following steps: S1, reading pre-processed GPR data; S2, adjusting a resolution of a picture; S3, inputting a data set into a recognition model; S4, outputting a moisture damage result; S5, judging whether there is a detection target or not by using an initial random image data set; and S6, generating the GPR image randomly incrementally and selecting the GPR image with a proper contrast. A proper B-scan image is found effectively, quickly and automatically by combining a recognition algorithm and a deep learning model or an image classification model to achieve an automatic recognition and detection based on the GPR image and improving a recognition precision as well.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a method to generate radar signatures for multiple objects in motion, includes performing a shooting and bouncing (SBR) technique to solve for physical optics and multi-bounce characteristics associated with the objects. Performing the SBR technique includes performing dynamic ray tracing to form an image of an object having surfaces and edges. Performing the dynamic ray tracing includes transforming the object in a common coordinate frame of reference to a centered-body axis frame of reference.
