公益財団法人 船井情報科学振興財団, 超広帯域レーダを用いた超分解能・不可視領域立体像再構成法の研究
木寺氏は、超広帯域電磁波を用いた近距離センシング分野において、全く新しい画像化原理を構築し、再現精度、空間分解能、処理時間において従来性能を超える革新的立体像再構成手法を提案してきた。更に多重散乱波を積極的に用いることで、従来では再現不可能であった領域(影領域)を高精度に推定する独自の手法を提案し、その有効性を実証してきた。卓越した同画像化性能は、国内外の当該分野で注目され、これを基盤とした研究開発が国内外の複数の研究機関で進められている。更に木寺氏は、誘電体内部画像化問題にも本手法の原理を導入し、独自の誘電率推定法を併用することで、超分解能・精度が達成されることを実証している。上記手法は多様な波長帯域に拡張可能であり、災害救助ロボットセンサ、非信襲生体計測及び非破壊計測等の幅広い応用分野で革新的計測技術を創出することが期待されている。

The inherent problem in CSI based optimization scheme is that the reconstruction accuracy is highly dependent on initial estimates, or number of unknowns. This paper introduces a new optimization scheme by specifying a multi-layer object and exploiting its homogeneity of each layer. The FDTD numerical test demonstrates that our method could provide dielectric property for each layer with considerably lower complexity, that contributes a quantitative material analysis in THz frequency.

International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves, IRMMW-THz, IEEE Computer Society, 2019-巻, 出版日 2019年09月01日, This paper proposes the novel imaging algorithm based on the range points migration (RPM) for the terahertz (THz) subsurface three-dimensional imaging. The inherent problem in the optical lens-based THz imaging system is the depth dependency for the azimuth resolution, and it is fatal, if the depth of object is not available in such as subsurface imaging issue. This paper newly introduces the range points migration (RPM) based auto-focusing algorithm, which is suitable for general THz-time domain spectroscopic (THz-TDS) measurement. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been validated through the THz-TDS measured data.

研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), 英語 - K-Space Decomposition Based Range Points Migration Method for Millimeter Wave Radar
Yoshiki Akiyama; Shouhei Kidera
International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 掲載ページ 680-683, 出版日 2019年07月01日, Millimeter wave short range radar is a great potential for monitoring sensor being applicable to optically challenging environments (e.g., smog, fog or darkness). While a number of imaging algorithms have been intensively developed, the range points migration(RPM) method is regarded as one of the most promising options to achieve accurate and fast three-dimensional imaging. However, since the RPM is based on incoherent processing, it has disadvantage for angular resolution in considering millimeter wave radar with lower fractional bandwidth. To address with the above problem, this paper proposes a k-space decomposition based RPM method, where the received data is converted and decomposed into the k-space to retain the desired angular resolution. As a notable feature of the proposed method, it offers a clustered range points decomposed by k-space, which contributes to enhance an imaging accuracy by the RPM. The two-dimensional and three-dimensional numerical tests demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method, compared with other super resolution algorithms.

Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-巻, 掲載ページ 400-407, 出版日 2019年06月01日, This study proposes a Doppler-associated range points migration (RPM) method for three-dimensional (3-D) imaging of the human body issue in a short-range ultra wideband (UWB) radar scenario, which is promising for various applications such as collision avoidance in autonomous driving systems. The RPM imaging is considerably enhanced by introducing promising signal-processing techniques for Doppler velocity analysis or for range extraction with high resolution and accuracy. As a promising solution, this study incorporates kernel-estimator-based Doppler analysis and compressed sensing (CS)-based range extraction, which are particularly promising for the low-frequency-band UWB radar. Further, enhancing the accuracy of Doppler velocity estimation using iterative data clustering of the range-τ data is focused upon in this study
additionally, this study enhances the accuracy of multi-pulse-hits image integration. The 3-D numerical tests demonstrate that our proposed method remarkably enhances the accuracy of Doppler velocity estimation and image integration by RPM.

Masanari Noto; Fang Shang; Shouhei Kidera; Tetsuo Kirimoto
責任著者, IEICE Transactions on Communications, Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication, Engineers, IEICE, E101B巻, 6号, 掲載ページ 1513-1520, 出版日 2018年06月01日, 査読付, There is a strong demand for super-resolution time of arrival (TOA) estimation techniques for radar applications that can that can exceed the theoretical limits on range resolution set by frequency bandwidth. One of the most promising solutions is the use of compressed sensing (CS) algorithms, which assume only the sparseness of the target distribution but can achieve super-resolution. To preserve the reconstruction accuracy of CS under highly correlated and noisy conditions, we introduce a random resampling approach to process the received signal and thus reduce the coherent index, where the frequency-domain-based CS algorithm is used as noise reduction preprocessing. Numerical simulations demonstrate that our proposed method can achieve super-resolution TOA estimation performance not possible with conventional CS methods.
研究論文(学術雑誌), 英語 - Acceleration of Range Points Migration-Based Microwave Imaging for Nondestructive Testing
Shuto Takahashi; Shouhei Kidera
ラスト(シニア)オーサー, IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 17巻, 4号, 掲載ページ 702-705, 出版日 2018年04月01日, 査読付, A microwave ultrawideband radar offers advantages of high-range resolution and deep penetration depth in low-loss media, and is a promising efficient nondestructive testing technique. The traditional delay-and-sum (DAS)-based imaging algorithm inherently suffers from insufficient accuracy in determining the detailed structure of any buried foreign body. As a promising alternative, the range points migration (RPM)-based imaging method has been developed. However, this method faces a problem in terms of high computational cost, particularly in the case of three-dimensional objects, because it requires a densely sampled outer boundary to maintain its reconstruction accuracy. Therefore, this study accelerates the RPM-based method without sacrificing the reconstruction accuracy, exploiting the feature of Envelope-based outer boundary extraction. Finite-difference time-domain numerical simulation and experimental results indicate that our proposed method accurately reconstructs small air cavities buried in a concrete object with considerably low computational cost.
研究論文(学術雑誌), 英語 - Range-point migration-based image expansion method exploiting fully polarimetric data for UWB short-range radar
Ayumi Yamaryo; Tatsuo Takatori; Shouhei Kidera; Tetsuo Kirimoto
責任著者, IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 56巻, 4号, 掲載ページ 2170-2182, 出版日 2018年04月01日, 査読付, Ultrawideband radar with high-range resolution is a promising technology for use in short-range 3-D imaging applications, in which optical cameras are not applicable. One of the most efficient 3-D imaging methods is the range-point migration (RPM) method, which has a definite advantage for the synthetic aperture radar approach in terms of computational burden, high accuracy, and high spatial resolution. However, if an insufficient aperture size or angle is provided, these kinds of methods cannot reconstruct the whole target structure due to the absence of reflection signals from large part of target surface. To expand the 3-D image obtained by RPM, this paper proposes an image expansion method by incorporating the RPM feature and fully polarimetric data-based machine learning approach. Following ellipsoid-based scattering analysis and learning with a neural network, this method expresses the target image as an aggregation of parts of ellipsoids, which significantly expands the original image by the RPM method without sacrificing the reconstruction accuracy. The results of numerical simulation based on 3-D finite-difference time-domain analysis verify the effectiveness of our proposed method, in terms of image-expansion criteria.

International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies, Cambridge University Press, 10巻, 2号, 掲載ページ 169-178, 出版日 2018年03月01日, Microwave ablation is widely recognized as a promising minimally invasive tool for treating cancer. Real-time monitoring of the dimensions of the ablation zone is indispensable for ensuring an effective and safe treatment. In this paper, we propose a microwave imaging algorithm for monitoring the evolution of the ablation zone. Our proposed algorithm determines the boundary of the ablation zone by exploiting the time difference of arrival (TDOA) between signals received before and during the ablation at external antennas surrounding the tissue, using the interstitial ablation antenna as the transmitter. A significant advantage of this method is that it requires few assumptions about the dielectric properties of the propagation media. Also the simplicity of the signal processing, wherein the TDOA is determined from a cross-correlation calculation, allows real-time monitoring and provides robust performance in the presence of noise. We investigate the performance of this approach for the application of breast tumor ablation. We use simulated array measurements obtained from finite-difference time-domain simulations of magnetic resonance imaging-derived numerical breast phantoms. The results demonstrate that our proposed method offers the potential to achieve millimeter-order accuracy and real-time operation in estimating the boundary of the ablation zone in heterogeneous and dispersive breast tissue.

Yoshiki Akiyama; Shouhei Kidera
ラスト(シニア)オーサー, 2017 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation, ISAP 2017, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017-巻, 掲載ページ 1-2, 出版日 2017年12月19日, 査読付, 140 GHz-band millimeter wave radars significantly expands the appilication range of three-dimensional (3-D) imaging sensors, making them suitable for short-range surveillance or watching sensors. The range points migration(RPM) is recently established as promising imaging approach for achieving an accurate and real-Time 3-D imaging. However, in dealing with objects with many scattering points like human body, the RPM suffers from an expensive computational cost. This paper proposes an acceleration of the RPM method, based on the newly designed cost function for multiple small array conflagrations. The results from 140 GHz based numerical data demonstrate that our proposed algorithm remarkably reduces the computational cost without sacrificing its reconstruction accuracy.

Masafumi Setsu; Shouhei Kidera
ラスト(シニア)オーサー, Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium, Electromagnetics Academy, 2017-巻, x号, 掲載ページ 1306-1311, 出版日 2017年11月20日, 査読付, Through-the-wall imaging (TWI) with ultra-wideband (UWB) radar is promising as the three-dimensional imaging sensor, for detecting human body buried in collapsed walls in rescue scenario. The pulse-Doppler radar is suitable for the above applications, where the Doppler velocity is exploited as human body recognition or motion estimation. Since, in the TWI scenario, the center frequency of the transmitted pulse should be low to maintain an enough penetration depth in a concrete wall, it suffers from an insufficient Doppler frequency resolution in using the Fourier transform based conversion. In addition, the received signal with larger fractional bandwidth could not be overlapped from first and last pulse hit if a long observation time is available, then the Fourier transform based Doppler analysis is not suitable for dealing with the above case. To overcome such difficulty, this paper proposes the Gaussian-kernel based conversion algorithm from extracted range-τ (τ denotes slow time) points to their corresponding Doppler velocities. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) based numerical simulation demonstrates that our proposed method simultaneously improves the Doppler velocity resolution and temporal resolution.

ラスト(シニア)オーサー, Progress in Electromagnetics Research Symposium, Electromagnetics Academy, 2017-巻, x号, 掲載ページ 1295-1300, 出版日 2017年11月20日, 査読付, Ultra-wide band (UWB) pulse radar has a possibility to create an innovative short-range sensing technique, such as for 3-dimensional (3-D) imaging sensor or non-destructive because it has the cm order range resolution and sufficient penetration depth in low lossy dielectric material. In the actual radar scenario, such as human body recognition in rescue scene or crack detection in large scale non-destructive crack monitoring in aged road, road monitoring, it is strongly required for not only an image but also the dielectric property of object. As a promising non-contact extraction for complex permittivity, we focus on the ellipsometry method exploiting the fully polarimetric re ection data. Furthermore, we incorporate the range points migration (RPM) based imaging approach and the ellipsometry, where each reconstructed scattering center can be associated with each complex permittivity extracted from ellipsometry method. This paper also introduces the calibration approach for the re ection ratio coefficient in order to compensate a physical difference from optical based ellipsometry observation model. The three-dimensional (3-D) finite difference time domain (FDTD) based numerical simulations demonstrate that our proposed method effectively unifies the surface image and complex permittivity information with simple algorithm.
研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), 英語 - Surface height change estimation method using band-divided coherence functions with fully polarimetric SAR images
Ryo Oyama; Shouhei Kidera; Tetsuo Kirimoto
責任著者, IEICE Transactions on Communications, Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication, Engineers, IEICE, E100B巻, 11号, 掲載ページ 2087-2093, 出版日 2017年11月01日, 査読付, Microwave imaging techniques, in particular, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), are promising tools for terrain surface measurement, irrespective of weather conditions. The coherent change detection (CCD) method is being widely applied to detect surface changes by comparing multiple complex SAR images captured from the same scanning orbit. However, in the case of a general damage assessment after a natural disaster such as an earthquake or mudslide, additional about surface change, such as surface height change, is strongly required. Given this background, the current study proposes a novel height change estimation method using a CCD model based on the Pauli decomposition of fully polarimetric SAR images. The notable feature of this method is that it can offer accurate height change beyond the assumedwavelength, by introducing the frequency band-divided approach, and so is significantly better than InSAR based approaches. Experiments in an anechoic chamber on a 1/100 scaled model of the X-band SAR system, show that our proposed method outputs more accurate height change estimates than a similar method that uses single polarimetric data, even if the height change amount is over the assumed wavelength.

責任著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E100B巻, 8号, 掲載ページ 1498-1506, 出版日 2017年08月, 査読付, Ultra-wideband millimeter wave radars significantly enhance the capabilities of three-dimensional (3D) imaging sensors, making them suitable for short-range surveillance and security purposes. For such applications, developed the range point migration (RPM) method, which achieves highly accurate surface extraction by using a range-point focusing scheme. However, this method is inaccurate and incurs great computation cost for complicated-shape targets with many reflection points, such as the human body. As an essential solution to this problem, we introduce herein a range-point clustering algorithm that exploits, the RPM feature. Results from numerical simulations assuming 140-GHz millimeter wavelength radar verify that the proposed method achieves remarkably accurate 3D imaging without sacrificing computational efficiency.

筆頭著者, 2017 11TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION (EUCAP), IEEE, x巻, x号, 掲載ページ 3717-3721, 出版日 2017年03月, 査読付, Microwave ablation (MWA) is widely recognized as a promising treatment tool for cancer. Real-time monitoring of the dimensions of the ablation zone is indispensable for ensuring an effective and safe treatment. In this paper, we propose a microwave imaging algorithm for monitoring the evolution of the ablation zone. This algorithm estimates the boundary of the ablation zone by exploiting the time difference of arrival (TDOA) between pre-and during-ablation signals received at external antennas surrounding the tissue, using the interstitial ablation antenna as the transmitter. A notable advantage of this method is that it requires few assumptions about the spatial distribution of dielectric properties of the propagation media. Also the simplicity of the signal processing, wherein the TDOA is determined from a cross-correlation calculation, allows real-time monitoring and provides noise-robust estimations. We investigate the performance of this approach using simulated array measurements obtained from FDTD simulations of MRI-derived numerical breast phantoms. The results demonstrate that our proposed method offers the potential to achieve millimeter order accuracy in estimating the boundary of the ablation zone in heterogeneous and dispersive breast tissue.

責任著者, IEICE Communication Express, 一般社団法人 電子情報通信学会, x巻, x号, 掲載ページ x-x, 出版日 2017年03月, 査読付,Super-resolution time of arrival estimation methods have attracted much attention in radar signal processing. Many studies have used compressed sensing (CS)-based approaches to attain the super-resolution property because they assume sparseness of the object temporal distribution. However, this approach still suffer from accuracy degradation when decomposing highly correlated signals in heavily noise-contaminated situations. To resolve this problem, this study introduces an enhanced CS method by exploiting the sparseness of both the time and frequency domains of the target signals. Numerical simulation and comparison with results obtained by conventional methods demonstrate that the proposed method considerably enhances the reconstruction accuracy for multiple highly correlated signals in lower signal-to-noise ratio situations.

責任著者, IEEE GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING LETTERS, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 14巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 122-126, 出版日 2017年01月, 査読付, High-resolution, short-range sensors that can be applied in optically challenging environments (e.g., in the presence of clouds, fog, and/or dark smog) are in high demand. Ultrawideband (UWB) millimeter-wave radars are one of the most promising devices for the above-mentioned applications. For target recognition using sensors, it is necessary to convert observational data into full 3-D images with both time efficiency and high accuracy. For such conversion algorithm, we have already proposed the range points migration (RPM) method. However, in the existence of multiple separated objects, this method suffers from inaccuracy and high computational cost due to dealing with many observed RPs. To address this issue, this letter introduces Doppler-based RPs clustering into the RPM method. The results from numerical simulations, assuming 140-GHz band millimeter radars, show that the addition of Doppler velocity into the RPM method results in more accurate 3-D images with reducing computational costs.

2016 URSI INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ELECTROMAGNETIC THEORY (EMTS), IEEE, x巻, x号, 掲載ページ 96-99, 出版日 2016年11月, 査読付, 招待, Microwave ultra-wideband (UWB) radar systems have numerous advantages for high range resolution and an ability to penetrate dielectric objects. Internal imaging of dielectric objects by UWB radar is a promising nondestructive method of testing aging roads and bridges and a noninvasive technique for medical diagnoses or human vital sign detection. We have already developed an original method called as range points migration (RPM), which achieves accurate and high-resolution imaging for target with continuous boundary shape. In this paper, we introduce the novel method for extracting double-layered dielectric object by using RPM or Envelope based approaches, where a dielectric constant of surrounding medium is simultaneously determined. The results obtained from the numerical simulation and experiment assuming concrete objects, demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

責任著者, IEICE Trans. Commun.,, 一般社団法人 電子情報通信学会, E99-C巻, x号, 掲載ページ x-x, 出版日 2016年10月, 査読付,Doppler lidar (LIght Detection And Ranging) can provide accurate wind velocity vector estimates by processing the time delay and Doppler spectrum of received signals. This system is essential for real-time wind monitoring to assist aircraft taking off and landing. Considering the difficulty of calibration and cost, a single Doppler lidar model is more attractive and practical than a multiple lidar model. In general, it is impossible to estimate two or three dimensional wind vectors from a single lidar model without any prior information, because lidar directly observes only a 1-dimensional (radial direction) velocity component of wind. Although the conventional VAD (Velocity Azimuth Display) and VVP (Velocity Volume Processing) methods have been developed for single lidar model, both of them are inaccurate in the presence of local air turbulence. This paper proposes an accurate wind velocity estimation method based on a parametric approach using typical turbulence models such as tornado, micro-burst and gust front. The results from numerical simulation demonstrate that the proposed method remarkably enhances the accuracy for wind velocity estimation in the assumed modeled turbulence cases, compared with that obtained by the VAD or other conventional method.

As one of the most efficient 3-D imaging approaches, the range point migration(RPM) method has been developed, which specifies target boundary extraction using measured ranges. The RPM method stills suffers from insufficient imaging area along cross-range direction, and this incurs the difficulty for target recognition using the reconstructed 3-D image, which is an essential problem in radar imaging. To tackle with this problem, an ellipsoidal aggregation based image extrapolation method, incorporating full polarimetric datasets and RPM imaging, have been already proposed. While this method retains an accurate extrapolation for smooth surface target, it suffers from inaccuracy for target shape with edge. Thus, this paper introduces an edge preserved algorithm based on eigenvector decomposition for quasi Hessian matrix obtained by RPM image. The results from finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) based simulations demonstrate that our method effectively expands a target image without sacrificing an accuracy around edge area.

While there are many studies for reconstructing complex permittivity for object based on the solution of domain integral equation, they suffer from extremely high computation cost and inaccuracy around discontinuous boundary due to relying on non-linear and multi-dimensional optimization approach. As another approach alleviating such problem, the boundary extraction based methods such as RPM or Envelope have been developed by incorporating ray tracing based dielectric constant estimation. This paper extends the above method for multi-static observation model, which has a possibility expand the reconstruction area compared with that obtained by mono-static model. The results from numerical simulation show that our extension model considerably enhances an accuracy for double layered boundary extraction, combined by the dielectric constant estimation.

To solve this problem, this paper introduces the surface clutter suppression using the Envelope boundary extraction method and FDTD based signal regeneration. In addition, this method revises an original beam-forming algorithm by compensating the propagation path distorted into breast. The results in numerical simulation show that our proposed method effectively suppresses the surface clutter and

Taichi Nakamura; Fang Shang; Shouhei Kidera; Tetsuo Kirimoto
2016 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION (ISAP), IEEE, x巻, x号, 掲載ページ 324-325, 出版日 2016年10月, 査読付, 招待, As an advanced operation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR), circular SAR (CSAR) has attracted more and more attentions, because it can achieve higher spatial resolution than conventional linear observation SAR due to considerably larger aperture angle. However, CSAR image is greatly distorted when the target is located away from the central axis position of the circular orbit because of different incident angle from each sub aperture. Such a problem makes it difficult to use the CSAR image for recognition applications. To address with the above problem, this paper presents a layover distortion compensation method for distorted CSAR image by adjusting height of projection planes for each aperture through targets height estimation. The results of simulated and experimental data demonstrate that the proposed method can compensate layover distorted CSAR image in success.

Single LIDAR model is preferable in terms of cost and being free from synchronization problem of multiple LIDARs. There are many studies for single LIDAR based velocity estimation. In specifying the recognition for typical air turbulences, such as tornado, microburst or gust front, the parametric approach has been introduced in our previous research. However, this method suffers from a large computational time due to solving multiple dimensional and non-linear optimization problem by particle swarm optimization (PSO). Aiming at real-time monitoring, this paper introduces neural network based optimization approach to determine the turbulence model. The results from numerical simulation demonstrate that the proposed method considerably reduces the calculation cost without sacrificing an estimation accuracy, compared with that obtained by the former PSO based method.

It is well known fact that a resolution of time-of-arrival (TOA) is strictly determined by the frequency bandwidth of transmitted signal. As super-resolution technique beyond such limitation, a compressed sensing (CS) algorithm has come under spotlight because a sparse assumption is well established in typical radar situations. However, the original CS method suffers from lower TOA resolution in insufficient SNR level. To address with such problem, this paper introduces a hierarchical Bayesian based CS algorithm. This method introduces the stochastic model derived from cross-correlation response as a priori information for CS reconstruction as hyper-prior distribution. The results of numerical simulation show that the proposed method enhances an accuracy for signal reconstruction, even in lower SNR situations.

2016 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON UBIQUITOUS WIRELESS BROADBAND (ICUWB2016), IEEE, x巻, x号, 掲載ページ x-x, 出版日 2016年09月, 査読付, Range points migration (RPM) method is a successful 3-D imaging algorithm with higher accuracy and less computational cost. Due to the limitation of radar aperture size, usually, the boundary points estimated by RPM method only cover a small portion of target surface. Therefore image extrapolation method is needed for improving the image result of RPM method. The conventional image extrapolation method is established based on ellipsoid fitting. However, such a high freedom optimization problem leads to extremely high computational cost. In order to accelerate the computation, we propose a novel image extrapolation method for based on multiple arcs. In the proposed method, instead of ellipsoids, a group of arcs are estimated to describe the targets. In this way, original 3D problem is degenerated to a 2-D one, which contributes a significant reduction of computational cost. The numerical simulation results show that the proposed method can realize image extrapolation in success with significantly higher accuracy and computational speed.

Thus, it has a great potential for innovative non-destructive testing of aging roads or bridges or for non-invasive medical imaging applications. In this context, we have already proposed an accurate dielectric constant estimation method for a homogeneous dielectric medium, based on a geometrical optics (GO) approximation, where the dielectric boundary points and their normal vectors are directly reproduced using the range point migration (RPM) method. In addition, to compensate for the estimation error incurred by the GO approximation, a waveform compensation scheme employing the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method was incorporated. This paper shows the experimental validation of this method, where a new approach for suppressing the creeping wave along the dielectric boundary is also introduced. The results from real observation data validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of highly accurate dielectric constant estimation and embedded object boundary reconstruction.

責任著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRONICS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E98C巻, 12号, 掲載ページ 1134-1142, 出版日 2015年12月, 査読付, Microwave ultra-wideband (UWB) radar systems are advantageous for their high-range resolution and ability to penetrate dielectric objects. Internal imaging of dielectric objects by UWB radar is a promising nondestructive method of testing aging roads and bridges and a noninvasive technique for human body examination. For these applications, we have already developed an accurate internal imaging approach based on the range points migration (RPM) method, combined with a method that efficiently estimates the dielectric constant. Although this approach accurately extracts the internal boundary, it is applicable only to highly conductive targets immersed in homogeneous dielectric media. It is not suitable for multi-layered dielectric structures such as human tissues or concrete objects. To remedy this limitation, we here propose a novel dielectric constant and boundary extractionmethod for double-layered materials. This new approach, which simply extends the Envelope method to boundary extraction of the inner layer, is evaluated in finite difference time domain (FDTD)-based simulations and laboratory experiments, assuming a double-layered concrete cylinder. These tests demonstrate that our proposed method accurately and simultaneously estimates the dielectric constants of both media and the layer boundaries.

責任著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E98B巻, 12号, 掲載ページ 2520-2527, 出版日 2015年12月, 査読付, Satellite-borne or aircraft-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is useful for high resolution imaging analysis for terrain surface monitoring or surveillance, particularly in optically harsh environments. For surveillance application, there are various approaches for automatic target recognition (ATR) of SAR images aiming at monitoring unidentified ships or aircraft. In addition, various types of analyses for full polarimetric data have been developed recently because it can provide significant information to identify structure of targets, such as vegetation, urban, sea surface areas. ATR generally consists of two processes, one is target feature extraction including target area determination, and the other is classification. In this paper, we propose novel methods for these two processes that suit full polarimetric exploitation. As the target area extraction method, we introduce a peak signal-to noise ratio (PSNR) based synthesis with full polarimetric SAR images. As the classification method, the circular polarization basis conversion is adopted to improve the robustness especially to variation of target rotation angles. Experiments on a 1/100 scale model of X-band SAR, demonstrate that our proposed method significantly improves the accuracy of target area extraction and classification, even in noisy or target rotating situations.

2015 12TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING/ELECTRONICS, COMPUTER, TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (ECTI-CON), IEEE, 出版日 2015年09月, 査読付, A microwave radar system is a useful tool for terrain surface measurement even in adverse weather or darkness. Most important specification of a radar system is range resolution, which is strictly determined by the frequency bandwidth of transmitted signal. However, due to the legal regulation of radio wave emission, its frequency band is strictly limited. In the case that the maximum and minimum frequencies of the signal are fixed, the normal range resolution is same, but there is a severe problem of TOA ambiguity, when the effective bandwidth is considerably lower. To solve this problem, we introduce the compressed sensing (CS) approach. The results from numerical simulation show that our method can suppress the TOA ambiguity even that actual bandwidth of transmitted signal is quite narrower.
研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), 英語 - Accurate Coherent Change Detection Method Based on Pauli Decomposition for Fully Polarimetric SAR Imagery

責任著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E98B巻, 7号, 掲載ページ 1390-1395, 出版日 2015年07月, 査読付, Microwave imaging techniques, particularly for synthetic aperture radar (SAR), produce high-resolution terrain surface images regardless of the weather conditions. Focusing on a feature of complex SAR images, coherent change detection (CCD) approaches have been developed in recent decades that can detect invisible changes in the same regions by applying phase interferometry to pairs of complex SAR images. On the other hand, various techniques of polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) image analysis have been developed, since fully polarimetric data often include valuable information that cannot be obtained from single polarimetric observations. According to this background, various coherent change detection methods based on fully polarimetric data have been proposed. However, the detection accuracies of these methods often degrade in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) situations due to the lower signal levels of cross-polarized components compared with those of co-polarized ones. To overcome the problem mentioned above, this paper proposes a novel CCD method by introducing the Pauli decomposition and the weighting of component with their respective SNR. The experimental data obtained in anechoic chamber show that the proposed method significantly enhances the performance of the receiver operation characteristic (ROC) compared with that obtained by a conventional approach.

2015 IEEE INTERNATIONAL GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING SYMPOSIUM (IGARSS), IEEE, 2015巻, 掲載ページ 385-388, 出版日 2015年07月, 査読付, Through-the-wall radar (TWR) technique with UWB (ultra wide-band) signals are promising candidates for non-destructive testing or reliable human detection buried under collapsed walls in disaster scenes. As an efficient 3-dimensional imaging approach, the range points migration (RPM) method has been established, which can transcend the performance limitation of the conventional delay-and-sum approaches, in terms of computational burden, accuracy and spatial resolution. This paper extends the RPM method to the TWR imaging model, called as TW-RPM, where the principle of the original RPM is appropriately extended to this model by considering the propagation path and delay in wall. In addition, this paper introduces the image expansion scheme, based on ellipse fitting approach. As a notable point, this fitting process is not carried out in real space but in data space, which is spanned by range points (a set of antenna location and range) to avoid the extrapolating error due to TW-RPM imaging process. The FDTD (finite time domain difference) based numerical simulation shows that our proposed method accurately expands the TW-RPM image even in narrower aperture case.

2015 IEEE INTERNATIONAL GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING SYMPOSIUM (IGARSS), IEEE, 2015巻, 掲載ページ 3243-3246, 出版日 2015年07月, 査読付, Satellite-borne or aircraft-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technique is useful for high resolution imaging analysis for terrain surface monitoring or surveillance, even in optically harsh environment. For surveillance application, there are various approaches for automatic target recognition (ATR) of SAR images aiming at monitoring unidentified ships or aircrafts. In addition, various types of analyses using full polarimetric data have been developed recently because it can provide significant information to identify structure of targets, such as vegetation, urban, sea surface areas. In this paper, the circular polarization basis conversion is adopted to improve the robustness especially to variation of target rotation angles. The experimental data, assuming the 1/100 scale model of X-band radar, demonstrate that our proposed method significantly improves an accuracy of target area extraction and classification, even in noisy or angular fluctuated situations.

2015 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON UBIQUITOUS WIRELESS BROADBAND (ICUWB), IEEE, x巻, x号, 掲載ページ x-x, 出版日 2015年, 査読付, A microwave ultra-wideband (UWB) radar system has an advantage for high range resolution and penetrating ability in dielectric object, and is promising for the applications, such as non-destructive testing for aging road or bridge and noninvasive human body inspection. We have already developed an accurate internal imaging approach based on the range points migration (RPM) method, combined with the efficient dielectric constant estimation method. However, the former method is applicable to only the situation that high conductive target is buried into a homogeneous dielectric medium, and is not suitable for the case of multi-layered dielectric structure, such as human body or layered concrete object. As a simple expansion aiming at multi-layered dielectric object, this paper proposes a novel dielectric constant and boundary extraction method for a double-layered case, where the exiting Envelope method is appropriately extended to boundary extraction of the inner layer. The results from finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) based numerical simulation and experiment, demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

2015 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON UBIQUITOUS WIRELESS BROADBAND (ICUWB), IEEE, x巻, x号, 掲載ページ x-x, 出版日 2015年, 査読付, Ultra wideband (UWB) radar with high range resolution is promising for short-range 3-dimensional (3-D) imaging applications, such as a sensor for rescue robot in disaster scene. We have already proposed the efficient 3-D imaging methods as range point migration (RPM) method, which has a definitive advantage for SAR or time-reversal approaches, in terms of computational burden, high accuracy and high spatial resolution. However, if the aperture size is insufficient, this method cannot image the whole target structure. Conversely, useful information about the target structure can be extracted from the full polarimetric data. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel method that expands reconstructed RPM images by exploiting the full polarimetric data. This method introduces the ellipsoid-based scattering analysis and estimation, and significantly expands the original image by the RPM method by an aggregation of parts of ellipsoids. The results of numerical simulation based on 3-D finite difference time domain (FDTD) analysis verify the effectiveness of our proposed method.

2015 IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON UBIQUITOUS WIRELESS BROADBAND (ICUWB), IEEE, x巻, x号, 掲載ページ x-x, 出版日 2015年, 査読付, Ultra-wideband (UWB) millimeter wave radar has a great advantage for achieving higher spatial resolution and is promising for collision avoidance or target recognition in short range sensing issue. In this paper, we focus on the 140-GHz band radar system, which has a significant advantage for wider frequency range and more compact radar module. For such application, we have originally developed an accurate and high-speed imaging method named as range points migration (RPM), which is based on a 3-D target boundary extraction scheme. This paper introduces the existing RPM radar to achieve fast data acquisition with multiple receivers. To enhance a computational cost and accuracy, we newly introduce the pre- and post-processing algorithms for the original multi-static RPM method, as range points selection and isolated points elimination. Results from numerical simulations assuming 140 GHz radar system, demonstrate that the proposed method accomplishes more efficient 3-D imaging compared with that obtained by the original RPM method.

Ryo Oyama; Shouhei Kidera; Tetsuo Kirimoto
2015 IEEE INTERNATIONAL GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING SYMPOSIUM (IGARSS), IEEE, Vol.E100-B,巻, 11号, 掲載ページ 2963-2966, 出版日 2015年, 査読付, Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is one of the most powerful tools for microwave imaging issue, being applicable to terrain surface measurement regardless of the weather conditions. Recently, the coherent change detection (CCD) method has been widely developed aiming at surface change detection by comparing the plural complex SAR images with the same scanning orbit. However, in the case of a general damage assessment by an earthquake or a mudslide, it requires not only a change detection but also a height change quantity of changed surface. To address with this issue, this paper proposes a novel height change estimation method with a CCD model based on the Pauli decomposition of fully polarimetric band-divided SAR images. The experimental results, assuming the 1/100 scale down model of the X-band SAR system in anechoic chamber, show that the proposed method achieves more accurate height change estimation, compared with those obtained by the method using single polarimetric data.

責任著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E97B巻, 12号, 掲載ページ 2819-2829, 出版日 2014年12月, 査読付, Radar systems using ultra-wideband (UWB) signals have definitive advantages in high range resolution. These are suitable for accurate 3-dimensional (3-D) sensing by rescue robots operating in disaster zone settings, where optical sensing is not applicable because of thick smog or high-density gas. For such applications, where no a priori information of target shape and position is given, an accurate method for 3-D imaging and motion estimation is strongly required for effective target recognition. In addressing this issue, we have already proposed a non-parametric 2-dimensional (2-D) imaging method for a target with arbitrary target shape and motion including rotation and translation being tracked using a multi-static radar system. This is based on matching target boundary points obtained using the range points migration (RPM) method extended to the multi-static radar system. Whereas this method accomplishes accurate imaging and motion estimation for single targets, accuracy is degraded severely for multiple targets, due to interference effects. For a solution of this difficulty, this paper proposes a method based on a novel matching scheme using not only target points but also normal vectors on the target boundary estimated by the Envelope method; interference effects are effectively suppressed when incorporating the RPM approach. Results from numerical simulations for both 2-D and 3-D models show that the proposed method simultaneously achieves accurate target imaging and motion tracking, even for multiple moving targets.

責任著者, IEEE GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING LETTERS, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 11巻, 11号, 掲載ページ 1901-1905, 出版日 2014年11月, 査読付, The microwave imaging technique, especially for synthetic aperture radar (SAR), has significant advantages in providing high-resolution complex target images, even in darkness or adverse weather conditions. Nevertheless, it is still difficult for human operators to identify targets on SAR images because they are generated using radio signals with wavelengths at the order of cm. To deal with this, various approaches for efficient automatic target recognition (ATR), based on neural networks or support vector machines (SVM), have been developed. Previously we proposed a promising ATR method using a supervised self-organizing map (SOM), where a binarized SAR image is accurately classified by exploiting the unified distance matrix (U-matrix) metric. Although this method enhances ATR performance considerably, even with SAR images heavily contaminated by random noise, the calculation burden is enormous under expansions of scale and then cannot maintain the ATR performance, especially in cases with azimuth angle variations. In this letter, we propose a constrained learning scheme for generating the SOM and introduce the A-star algorithm to handle SOM scale expansion. Experimental investigations demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

2014 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION (ISAP), IEEE, x巻, x号, 掲載ページ 153-154, 出版日 2014年10月, 査読付, Ultra-wideband (UWB) radar, with high range resolution and ability of penetrating dielectric media, has a great potential for innovative non-destructive testing for aging roads or bridges or non-invasive medical imaging. We have already proposed an accurate permittivity estimation method for a homogeneous dielectric object based on the geometrical optics (GO) approximation, where dielectric boundary points and their normal vectors are directly reproduced by the range point migration (RPM) method. In addition, the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) based waveform reconstruction method was incorporated to compensate for errors incurred by the GO approximation. This paper shows the experimental investigation of this method, where the new approach for suppressing the creeping wave along dielectric boundary is introduced. The results from real observation data validate its effectiveness, in terms of highly accurate permittivity estimation and buried object boundary reconstruction.

2014 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION (ISAP), IEEE, x巻, x号, 掲載ページ 95-96, 出版日 2014年10月, 査読付, A microwave ultra-wideband (UWB) radar system is one of the most promising technologies for the internal imaging of dielectric objects in applications such as non-invasive inspection and non-destructive measurement. For such applications, we have already proposed an efficient method of estimating permittivity employing a geometrical optics (GO) approximation and exploiting dielectric outer boundary points and their normal vector accurately obtained with the range points migration (RPM) method. However, this method assumes that there is a highly lossy object buried in a single-layered homogeneous dielectric medium. This paper proposes an accurate permittivity estimation method for a double layered dielectric medium that employs the RPM or Envelope method extended to boundary extraction for each dielectric layer, and an estimation of time delay based on a geometrical optics approximation. The results from finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) based simulations demonstrate that our method accurately estimates permittivity and the boundary of the two layers simultaneously.

責任著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRONICS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E97C巻, 8号, 掲載ページ 828-832, 出版日 2014年08月, 査読付, Ultra-wide band (UWB) radar has a great advantage for range resolution, and is suitable for 3-dimensional (3-D) imaging sensor, such as for rescue robots or surveillance systems, where an accurate 3-dimensional measurement, impervious to optical environments, is indispensable. However, in indoor sensing situations, an available aperture size is severely limited by obstacles such as collapsed furniture or rubles. Thus, an estimated region of target image often becomes too small to identify whether it is a human body or other object. To address this issue, we previously proposed the image expansion method based on the ellipse extrapolation, where the fitting space is converted from real space to data space defined by range points to enhance the extrapolation accuracy. Although this method achieves an accurate image expansion for some cases, by exploiting the feature of the efficient imaging method as range points migration (RPM), there are still many cases, where it cannot maintain sufficient extrapolation accuracy because it only employs the single scattered component for imaging. For more accurate extrapolation, this paper extends the above image expansion method by exploiting double-scattered signals between the target and the wall in an indoor environment. The results from numerical simulation validate that the proposed method significantly expands the extrapolated region for multiple elliptical objects, compared with that obtained using only single scattered signal.

As a leading-edge approach for SAR image processing, the coherent change detection (CCD) technique has been recently established
it detects a temporal change in the same region according to the phase interferometry of two complex SAR images. However, in the case of general damage assessment following an earthquake or mudslide, the technique requires not only the detection of surface change but also an assessment for height change quantity, such as occurs with a building collapse or road subsidence. While the interferometric SAR (InSAR) approach is suitable for height assessment, it is basically unable to detect change if only a single observation is made. To address this issue, we previously proposed a method of estimating height change according to phase interferometry of the coherence function obtained by dual band-divided SAR images. However, the accuracy of this method significantly degrades in noisy situations owing to the use of the phase difference. To resolve this problem, this paper proposes a novel height estimation method by exploiting the frequency characteristic of coherence phases obtained by each SAR image multiply band-divided. The results obtained from numerical simulations and experimental data demonstrate that our proposed method offers accurate height change estimation while avoiding degradation in the spatial resolution.

With that, it has great potential as an innovative non-destructive inspection technique for objects such as human body or concrete walls. For suitability in such applications, we have already proposed an accurate permittivity estimation method for a 2-dimensional dielectric object of arbitrarily shape and clear boundary.

In addition, to compensate for the estimation error incurred using the GO approximation, a waveform compensation scheme employing the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method was incorporated, where an initial guess of the relative permittivity and dielectric boundary are employed for data regeneration. This study introduces the 3-dimensional extension of the above permittivity estimation method, aimed at practical uses, where only the transmissive data are effectively extracted, based on quantitative criteria that considers the spatial relationship between antenna locations and the dielectric object position. Results from a numerical simulation verify that our proposed method accomplishes accurate permittivity estimations even for 3-dimensional dielectric medium of wavelength size.

IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION AND SYSTEMS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E96D巻, 12号, 掲載ページ 2814-2819, 出版日 2013年12月, 査読付, As a consequence of recent developments in communications, the parameters of communication signals, such as the modulation parameter values, are becoming unstable because of time-varying SNR under electromagnetic conditions. In general, it is difficult to classify target signals that have time-varying parameters using traditional signal recognition methods. To overcome this problem, this study proposes a novel recognition method that works well even for such time-dependent communication signals. This method is mainly composed of feature extraction and classification processes. In the feature extraction stage, we adopt Shannon entropy and index entropy to obtain the stable features of modulated signals. In the classification stage, the interval gray relation theory is employed as suitable for signals with time-varying parameter spaces. The advantage of our method is that it can deal with time-varying SNR situations, which cannot be handled by existing methods. The results from numerical simulation show that the proposed feature extraction algorithm, based on entropy characteristics in time-varying SNR situations,offers accurate clustering performance, and the classifier, based on interval gray relation theory, can achieve a recognition rate of up to 82.9%, even when the SNR varies from -10 to -6 dB.

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS OF 2013 ASIA-PACIFIC CONFERENCE ON SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR (APSAR), IEEE, 掲載ページ 601-604, 出版日 2013年11月, 査読付, Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has significant advantages in providing high resolution target images, even in darkness or adverse weather. Nevertheless, human operators find target images difficult to recognize because SAR images are generated using complex-valued radio signals of around 1.0-m wavelength. To address this issue, various automatic target recognition (ATR) approaches have been developed, such as those based on neural network or SVM(Support Vector Machine). Moreover, we have already proposed the efficient ATR method using a supervised self-organizing map (SOM), where a binarized SAR image is accurately classified by exploiting the unified distance matrix (Umatrix) metric. Although this method significantly enhances the ATR performance even with heavily contaminated SAR images, it still has a significant problem requiring enormous calculational demands under expansions of scale and thus cannot handle the ATR issue using more training data. As a solution for this problem, this paper employs the A-star algorithm to accelerate the classification speed, and then newly introduces the constrained learning process in generating SOM, which enhances the robustness to the angular variation in targets. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

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 difficult to apply to complex target shapes. 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 being observed by multi-static radar, which is based on the matching of target boundary points obtained by the range points migration (RPM) algorithm extended to the multi-static radar 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, the antenna location part of which is 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.

As an accurate and high-resolution imaging method for targets embedded in a dielectric medium, extended range points migration (RPM) has been developed. Although this method offers an accurate internal target image in a homogeneous media, it assumes the permittivity of the dielectric medium is given, which is not practical for general applications. Although there are various permittivity estimation methods, they have essential problems that are not suitable for clear, dielectric boundaries like walls, or is not applicable to an unknown and arbitrary shape of dielectric medium. To overcome the above drawbacks, we newly propose a permittivity estimation method suitable for various shapes of dielectric media with a clear boundary, where the dielectric boundary points and their normal vectors are accurately determined by the original RPM method. In addition, our method iteratively compensates for the scattered waveform deformation using a finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method to enhance the accuracy of the permittivity estimation. Results from a numerical simulation demonstrate that our method achieves accurate permittivity estimation even for a dielectric medium of wavelength size.

責任著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E96B巻, 5号, 掲載ページ 1194-1201, 出版日 2013年05月, 査読付, High-resolution time of arrival (TOA) estimation techniques have great promise for the high range resolution required in recently developed radar systems. A widely known super-resolution TOA estimation algorithm for such applications, the multiple-signal classification (MUSIC) in the frequency domain, has been proposed, which exploits an orthogonal relationship between signal and noise eigenvectors obtained by the correlation matrix of the observed transfer function. However, this method suffers severely from a degraded resolution when a number of highly correlated interference signals are mixed in the same range gate. As a solution for this problem, this paper proposes a novel TOA estimation algorithm by introducing a maximum likelihood independent component analysis (MLICA) approach, in which multiple complex sinusoidal signals are efficiently separated by the likelihood criteria determined by the probability density function (PDF) of a complex sinusoid. This MLICA schemes can decompose highly correlated interference signals, and the proposed method then incorporates the MLICA into the MUSIC method, to enhance the range resolution in richly interfered situations. The results from numerical simulations and experimental investigation demonstrate that our proposed pre-processing method can enhance TOA estimation resolution compared with that obtained by the original MUSIC, particularly for lower signal-to-noise ratios.
研究論文(学術雑誌), 英語 - Robust and Accurate Image Expansion Algorithm Based on Double Scattered Range Points Migration for UWB Imaging Radars

筆頭著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E96B巻, 4号, 掲載ページ 1061-1069, 出版日 2013年04月, 査読付, UWB (Ultra Wideband) radar offers great promise for advanced near field sensors due to its high range resolution. In particular, it is suitable for rescue or resource exploration robots, which need to identify a target in low visibility or acoustically harsh environments. Recently, radar algorithms that actively coordinate multiple scattered components have been developed to enhance the imaging range beyond what can be achieved by synthesizing a single scattered component. Although we previously developed an accurate algorithm for imaging shadow regions with low computational complexity using derivatives of observed ranges for double scattered signals, the algorithm yields inaccurate images under the severe interference situations that occur with complex-shaped or multiple objects or in noisy environments. This is because small range fluctuations arising from interference or random noises can produce non-negligible image degradation owing to inaccuracy in the range derivative calculation. As a solution to this difficulty, this paper proposes a novel imaging algorithm that does not use the range derivatives of doubly scattered signals, and instead extracts a feature of expansive distributions of the observed ranges, using a unique property inherent to the doubly scattering mechanism. Numerical simulation examples of complex-shaped or multiple targets are presented to demonstrate the distinct advantage of the proposed algorithm which creates more accurate images even for complicated objects or in noisy situations.

責任著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRONICS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E96C巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 119-123, 出版日 2013年01月, 査読付, Ultra wideband radar is one of the most promising techniques for non-invasive imaging in a dielectric medium, which is suitable for both medical screening and non-destructive testing applications. A novel imaging method for such an application is proposed in this brief paper, which has been extended from the advanced range points migration method to a multi-static observation model with circular arrays. One notable feature of this method is that it is applicable to either arbitrary dielectric or internal object shapes, and it can also expand the reconstructible image region compared with that obtained using the mono-static model by employing received signals after penetrating various propagation paths in dielectric medium. Numerical results for the investigation of an elliptical object, surrounded by a random dielectric surface, show the remarkable advantages of the proposed method with respect to image expansion.

筆頭著者, IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 10巻, 5号, 掲載ページ 1104-1108, 出版日 2013年01月, 査読付, Ultrawideband pulse radar has a definite advantage over optical ranging techniques in harsh optical environments, such as a dark smog or strong backlight. In security or rescue situations with blurry visibility, it is particularly promising for identifying human bodies. One of the most promising approaches for this type of application is the recently proposed range point migration (RPM) method, which is beneficial for nonparametric imaging and is robust in noisy or heavy interference situations. However, the original RPM requires a discretization of the direction-of-arrival variables in its search operation. The resulting coarse discretization seriously degrades the imaging accuracy, particularly for 3-D problems and far-field observations. Consequently, in this approach, there is a major tradeoff between the amount of computation and accuracy. To overcome this difficulty, this letter proposes a more efficient RPM method, where the extraction of the point of intersection of spheres is adopted. A distinct advantage of this method is that the accuracy is basically invariant to the observation range when avoiding the aforementioned discretization. Numerical simulations including noisy cases prove that our proposed RPM significantly reduces the computation complexity while retaining imaging accuracy. © 2012 IEEE.

Independent component analysis (ICA), assuming only a statistical independence among stochastic source signals, is one of the most useful BSS tools because it does not need a priori information on each source. However, there are many requirements for decomposing multiple deterministic signals such as complex sinusoidal signals with different frequencies. These requirements may include pulse compression or clutter rejection. It has been theoretically shown that an ICA algorithm based on maximizing non-Gaussianity successfully decomposes such deterministic signals. However, this ICA algorithm does not maintain a sufficient separation performance when the frequency difference of the sinusoidal waves becomes less than a nominal frequency resolution. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a super-resolution algorithm for complex sinusoidal signals by extending the maximum likelihood ICA, where the probability density function (PDF) of a complex sinusoidal signal is exploited as a priori knowledge, in which the PDF of the signal amplitude is approximated as a Gaussian distribution with an extremely small standard deviation. Furthermore, we introduce an optimization process for this standard deviation to avoid divergence in updating the reconstruction matrix. Numerical simulations verify that our proposed algorithm remarkably enhances the separation performance compared to the conventional one, and accomplishes a super-resolution separation even in noisy situations.

筆頭著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E95B巻, 11号, 掲載ページ 3563-3571, 出版日 2012年11月, 査読付, Microwave imaging techniques, in particular synthetic aperture radar (SAR), are able to obtain useful images even in adverse weather or darkness, which makes them suitable for target position or feature estimation. However, typical SAR imagery is not informative for the operator, because it is synthesized using complex radio signals with greater than 1.0 m wavelength. To deal with the target identification issue for imaging radar, various automatic target recognition (ATR) techniques have been developed. One of the most promising ATR approaches is based on neural network classification. However, in the case of SAR images heavily contaminated by random or speckle noises, the classification accuracy is severely degraded because it only compares the outputs of neurons in the final layer. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a self organized map (SOM) based ATR method, where the binary SAR image is classified using the unified distance matrix (U-matrix) metric given by the SOM. Our numerical analyses and experiments on 5 types of civilian airplanes, demonstrate that the proposed method remarkably enhances the classification accuracy, particular in lower S/N situations, and holds a significant robustness to the angular variations of the observation.
研究論文(学術雑誌), 英語 - Accurate 3-Dimensional Imaging Method Based on Extended RPM for Rotating Target Model

筆頭著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E95B巻, 10号, 掲載ページ 3279-3289, 出版日 2012年10月, 査読付, Three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction techniques employed by airborne radars are essential for object recognition in scenarios where optically vision is blurry, and are required for the monitoring of disasters and coast-guard patrols. There have been reports on 3-D reconstruction methods that exploit the layover appearing in inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imagery, which are suitable for the recognition of artificial targets such as buildings, aircraft or ships. However, existing methods assume only a point target or the aggregate of point targets, and most require the tracking of the multiple points over sequential ISAR images. In the case of a solid object with a continuous boundary, such as a wire or polyhedral structure, the positioning accuracy of such methods is severely degraded owing to scattering centers continuously shifting on the target surface with changes in the rotation angle. To overcome this difficulty, this paper extends the original Range Points Migration (RPM) method to the ISAR observation model, where a double mono-static model with two transmitting and receiving antennas is introduced to suppress cross-range ambiguity. The results of numerical simulation and experimental validation demonstrate that the extended RPM method has a distinct advantage for accurate 3-D imaging, even for non-point targets.

Proceedings - IEEE International Conference on Ultra-Wideband, x巻, x号, 掲載ページ 556-560, 出版日 2012年09月, 査読付, 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. © 2012 IEEE.

Various imaging algorithms for buried objects within a dielectric medium have been proposed, such as aperture synthesis, the time reversal approach and the space-time beamforming algorithm. However, these algorithms mostly require a priori knowledge of the dielectric medium boundary in image focusing, and often suffer from inadequate accuracy to identify the detailed structure of buried targets, such as an edge or specular surface owing to employing the waveform focusing scheme. To overcome these difficulties, this paper proposes an accurate and non-parametric (i.e. using an arbitrary shape without target modeling) imaging algorithm for targets buried in a homogeneous dielectric medium by advancing the RPM (Range Points Migration) algorithm to internal imaging issues, which has been demonstrated to provide an accurate image even for complex-shaped objects in free-space measurement. Numerical simulations, including those for two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) cases, verify that the proposed algorithm enhances the imaging accuracy by less than 1/10 of the wavelength and significantly reduces the computational cost by specifying boundary extraction compared with the conventional SAR-based algorithm.

責任著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E95B巻, 7号, 掲載ページ 2424-2432, 出版日 2012年07月, 査読付, Ultra-wideband (UWB) pulse radars have a definite advantage in high-range resolution imaging, and are suitable for short-range measurements, particularly at disaster sites or security scenes where optical sensors are rarely suitable because of dust or strong backlighting. Although we have already proposed an accurate imaging algorithm called Range Points Migration (RPM), its reconstructible area is too small to identify the shape of an object if it is far from the radar and the size of the aperture is inadequate. To resolve this problem, this paper proposes a novel image expansion method based on ellipse extrapolation; it enhances extrapolation accuracy by deriving direct estimates of the observed range points distributed in the data space. Numerical validation shows that the proposed method accurately extrapolates part of the target boundary, even if an extremely small region of the target boundary is obtained by RPM.

筆頭著者, IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 60巻, 2号, 掲載ページ 984-996, 出版日 2012年02月, 査読付, Ultra-wideband (UWB) radar with its high range resolution and applicability to optically harsh environments, offer great promise for near field sensing systems. It is particularly suitable for robotic or security sensors that must identify a target in low visibility. Some recently developed radar imaging algorithms proactively employ multiple scattered components, which can enhance an imaging range compared to synthesizing a single scattered component. We have already proposed the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) method considering a double scattered, which successfully expanded a reconstructible range of radar imagery with no a priori knowledge of target or surroundings. However, it requires a multiple integration of the received signals, requiring the fifth times integration in the 3-D case. Thus, this method requires an intensive computation and its spatial resolution is insufficient for clear boundary extraction such as edges or specular surfaces. As a substantial solution, this paper proposes a novel shadow region imaging algorithm based on a range derivative of double scattered signals. This new method accomplishes high-speed imaging, including a shadow region without any integration process, and enhances the accuracy with respect to clear boundary extraction. Results from numerical simulations verify that the proposed method remarkably decreases the computation amount compared to that for the conventional method, especially for the 3-D problem, enhancing the visible range of radar imagery.

Commun., The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, E95-B巻, 2号, 掲載ページ 572-580, 出版日 2012年02月, 査読付, Many researchers have proposed ultrasound imaging techniques for product inspection; however, most of these techniques are aimed at detecting the existence of flaws in products. The acquisition of an accurate three-dimensional image using ultrasound has the potential to be a useful product inspection tool. In this paper we apply the Envelope algorithm, which was originally proposed for accurate UWB (Ultra Wide-Band) radar imaging systems, to ultrasound imaging. We show that the Envelope algorithm results in image deterioration, because it is difficult for ultrasound measurements to achieve high signal to noise (S/N) ratio values as a result of a high level of noise and interference from the environment. To reduce errors, we propose two adaptive smoothing techniques that effectively stabilize the estimated image produced by the Envelope algorithm. An experimental study verifies that the proposed imaging algorithm has accurate 3-D imaging capability with a mean error of 6.1µm, where the transmit center frequency is 2.0MHz and the S/N ratio is 23dB. These results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed imaging algorithm compared with a conventional Envelope algorithm.
研究論文(学術雑誌), 英語 - Accurate Surface Change Detection Method Using Phase of Coherence Function on SAR Imagery

責任著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON COMMUNICATIONS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E95B巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 263-270, 出版日 2012年01月, 査読付, Satellite-borne SAR (synthetic aperture radar) is for high-resolution geosurface measurements. Recently, a feature extraction method based on CCD (coherent change detection) was developed, where a slight surface change on the geosurface is detected using the phase relationship between sequential complex SAR images of the same region made at different times. For accurate detection of the surface change, the log-likelihood method has been proposed. This method determines an appropriate threshold for change detection, making use of the phase characteristic of the changed area, and thus enhances the detection probability. However, this and other conventional methods do not seek to proactively employ phase information of the estimated coherence function, and their detection probability is often low, especially in the case that the target has small surface or local uniform changes. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a novel transformation index that considers the phase difference of the coherence function. Furthermore, we introduce a pre-processing calibration method to compensate the bias error for the coherence phase which resulting mainly from the orbit error of the antenna platform. Finally, the results from numerical simulations and experiment modeling of the geosurface measurement verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, even in situations with low SNR (signal to noise ratio).

Applications of UWB pulse radar include human body identification in blurry vision for security or rescue purposes and accurate spatial measurements for industrial products such as a reflector antenna. The synthetic aperture radar is still promising for these applications because it creates an accurate image even for near-field targets in free space. However, for complex-shaped or multiple objects, this algorithm suffers from increased shadow region because it employs only a single-scattered signal for imaging. To resolve this difficulty, this paper proposes a novel imaging algorithm based on aperture synthesis for double-scattered signals. In general, double-scattered waves include independent information on target points, which are not obtained by a single-scattered wave. Based on this principle, the proposed method effectively synthesizes the double-scattered signals and enhances the reconstructible range of a target shape, part of which becomes a shadow in the former approach. In order to enhance accuracy, a false image suppression approach based on the Fresnel zone theory is also incorporated in the proposed method. The results from numerical simulations and an experiment verify that our method significantly enhances the visible range of target surfaces without either a priori knowledge of target shapes or preliminary observation of their surroundings.

The conventional detection algorithm is based on the fast Fourier transform-constant false alarm rate (FFT-CFAR) approaches. However, the detection task becomes extremely difficult when the Doppler spectrum of the target is completely buried in the spectrum of clutter. To enhance the detection probability in the above situations, the proposed method employs the PCA algorithm, which decomposes the target and clutter signals into uncorrelated components. The performances of the proposed method and the conventional FFT-CFAR based detection method are evaluated in terms of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) for various signal-to-clutter ratio (SCR) cases. The results of numerical simulations show that the proposed method significantly enhances the detection probability compared with that obtained using the conventional FFT-CFAR method, especially for lower SCR situations.

To enhance the imaging region of UWB radar, especially for multiple objects with complex shapes, an imaging algorithm based on aperture synthesis for multiple scattered waves has been proposed.

To overcome this difficulty, this letter proposes a fast accurate algorithm for shadow region imaging by incorporating the Range Points Migration (RPM) algorithm. The results of the numerical simulation show that, while the proposed algorithm affects the performance of the shadow region imaging slightly, it does not cause significant accuracy degradation and significantly decreases the computation time by a factor of 100 compared to the conventional algorithm.

Shouhei Kidera; Tetsuo Kimmoto
2011 30th URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium, URSIGASS 2011, xx巻, xx号, 掲載ページ xx, 出版日 2011年08月, 査読付, UWB(Ultra Wideband) radar offers a high range resolution and has a great promise to the near field sensing system, such as robotic or security sensor, that can identify a target even in an optically harsh environment. In recent years, some of radar imaging algorithms proactively employing multiple scattered components have been developed, which can enhance an imaging range compared to that synthesized by a single scattered one. As such, we have already proposed the SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) method using double scattered signals, and it successfully expanded a reconstructible range of radar imagery without any preliminary knowledge of target or surroundings. However, it is based on the multiple integration of the received signals, that requires an intensive computation, and also its spatial resolution is generally insufficient for clear boundary extraction such as edge or specular surface. As a substantial solution for the above problems, this paper proposes a novel expanded 3-dimensional (3-D) imaging algorithm based on range derivatives of double scattered signals. Some results in numerical simulations verify that the proposed method remarkably enhances the visible range of radar imagery without any integration process, and extremely decreases the calculation amount compared to that of the conventional method. © 2011 IEEE.

2011 30th URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium, URSIGASS 2011, xx巻, xx号, 掲載ページ xx, 出版日 2011年08月, 査読付, Ultra-wide band (UWB) pulse radar with high range resolution and dielectric permeability is promising as an internal imaging technique for non-destructive testing or breast cancer detection. Various imaging algorithms for UWB radar techniques have been proposed, such as aperture synthesis and the space-time beamforming algorithm. However, these algorithms are based on a signal focusing scheme, which often suffers from insufficient resolution to identify the detailed structure of buried targets and has high computational cost in obtaining a full three-dimensional image. To overcome these difficulties, this paper proposes an accurate fast imaging algorithm for targets buried in a uniform dielectric medium by advancing the RPM(Range Points Migration) algorithm, which has been shown to achieve super-resolution imaging for spatial measurement. Numerical simulation shows that the proposed algorithm achieves imaging accuracy of around 1/20 λ with less computation time by specifying boundary extraction. © 2011 IEEE.
研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), 英語 - Accurate shadow region imaging algorithm using ellipse extrapolation based on distorted hyperbola fitting for UWB radars
Yoriaki Abe; Shouhei Kidera; Tetsuo Kirimoto
2011 30th URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium, URSIGASS 2011, xx巻, xx号, 掲載ページ xx, 出版日 2011年08月, 査読付, Ultra-wideband (UWB) pulse radars have a definitive advantage in high-range resolution imaging and are suitable for near-field measurements. Although we have already proposed an accurate imaging algorithm called Range Points Migration (RPM), the reconstructible area of RPM is too small to identify an object shape when the object is far from the observation site in the case of limited aperture size. To resolve the problem, this paper proposes a novel image expansion method based on ellipse extrapolation, which is converted to distorted hyperbola fitting in the data space to enhance extrapolation accuracy. Numerical simulations show that the proposed method accurately extrapolates the target boundary, even if an extremely small region of the target boundary is obtained by the RPM. © 2011 IEEE.
研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), 英語 - Multi-Static UWB Radar Approach Based on Aperture Synthesis of Double Scattered Waves for Shadow Region Imaging
Shouhei Kidera; Tetsuo Kirimoto
筆頭著者, IEICE TRANSACTIONS ON ELECTRONICS, IEICE-INST ELECTRONICS INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS ENG, E94C巻, 8号, 掲載ページ 1320-1323, 出版日 2011年08月, 査読付, The applicability in harsh optical environments, such as dark smog, or strong backlight of ultra-wide band (UWB) pulse radar has a definite advantage over optical ranging techniques. We have already proposed the extended Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) algorithm employing double scattered waves, which aimed at enhancing the reconstructible region of the target boundary including shadow region. However, it still suffers from the shadow area for the target that has a sharp inclination or deep concave boundary, because it assumes a mono-static model, whose real aperture size is, in general, small. To resolve this issue, this study proposes an extension algorithm of the double scattered SAR based on a multi-static configuration. While this extension is quite simple, the effectiveness of the proposed method is nontrivial with regard to the expansion of the imaging range. The results from numerical simulations verify that our method significantly enhances the visible range of the target surfaces without a priori knowledge of the target shapes or any preliminary observation of its surroundings.

筆頭著者, IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 59巻, 5号, 掲載ページ 1606-1615, 出版日 2011年05月, 査読付, Near field radar employing ultrawideband (UWB) signals with its high range resolution has great promise for various sensing applications. It enables non-contact measurement of precision devices with specular surfaces like an aircraft fuselage and wing, or a robotic sensor that can identify a human body in invisible situations. As one of the most promising radar algorithms, the range points migration (RPM) was proposed. This achieves fast and accurate surface extraction, even for complex-shaped objects, by eliminating the difficulty of connecting range points. However, in the case of a more complex shape whose variation scale is less than a pulsewidth, it still suffers from image distortion caused by multiple interference signals with different waveforms. As a substantial solution, this paper proposes a novel range extraction algorithm by extending the Capon method, known as frequency domain interferometry (FDI). This algorithm combines reference signal optimization with the original Capon method to enhance the accuracy and resolution for an observed range into which a deformed waveform model is introduced. The results obtained from numerical simulations and an experiment with bi-static extension of the RPM prove that super-resolution UWB radar imaging is accomplished by the combination between the RPM and the extended Capon methods, even for an extremely complex-surface target including edges.

研究論文(国際会議プロシーディングス), 英語 - High-Resolution 3-D Imaging Algorithm With an Envelope of Modified Spheres for UWB Through-the-Wall Radars
Shouhei Kidera; Takuya Sakamoto; Toru Sato
筆頭著者, IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 57巻, 11号, 掲載ページ 3520-3529, 出版日 2009年11月, 査読付, Through-the-wall imaging techniques with ultrawideband (UWB) radars are promising candidates for non-destructive testing and reliable human detection, especially in disaster areas, where victims are buried under collapsed walls. These applications require high-resolution target imaging to identify the object shape, such as a human body. We have already proposed a high-quality 3-dimensional (3-D) imaging algorithm in the form of Envelope, that is aimed at near field sensing for non-contact measurement or target identification for robots. Envelope achieves realtime accurate 3-D imaging with group mapping from multiple observed ranges to target points, and offers a reliable image even in noisy situations. However, this method does not maintain its quality for through-the-wall imaging because an observed range shift due to wall penetration causes a serious distortion in the image. This paper presents a high-resolution 3-D imaging algorithm by modifying the original Envelope, and which gives a more accurate object shape behind a wall. Furthermore, to enhance the resolution of the estimated images, this method is combined with a direct waveform compensation method, known as spectrum offset correction. Numerical simulations and an experiment verify that our proposed method achieves high-resolution 3-D imaging for through-the-wall radar applications.

PIERS 2009 MOSCOW VOLS I AND II, PROCEEDINGS, ELECTROMAGNETICS ACAD, 5巻, 4号, 掲載ページ 12-+, 出版日 2009年08月, 査読付, Ultra-wide band (UWB) radar is capable of high range resolution near field sensing, and is thus applicable to security systems designed to identify a human body even when invisible. Although Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) creates a stable and accurate target image for such applications, it often suffers from increased shadow regions in the case of complex or multiple targets. On the contrary, a multiple scattered wave has the potential to enlarge a visible range on target surfaces because it propagates a path which differs from that of a single scattered wave. While various algorithms based on time-reversal processing with multiple scattered waves have been developed, these require a priori information of the surroundings or a target model. This paper proposes a shadow region imaging algorithm based on the aperture synthesis of multiple scattered waves. While the proposed algorithm only synthesizes a double scattered wave according to its propagation path, it can directly increase the visible area and is applicable to arbitrary target shapes. The results from the numerical simulation and experiment verify that the proposed algorithm directly makes a shadow region visible without a preliminary observation.

We have already proposed a high-speed 3-D imaging algorithm, SEABED, which is based on a reversible transform, which is the boundary scattering transform, between the received signals and the target shape. However, the estimated image with SEABED is unstable with random noise because it utilizes a derivative of the received data. In this paper, we propose a robust 3-D imaging algorithm with an envelope of spheres that completely resolves the instability due to derivative operations. Moreover, to enhance the resolution of estimated images, this method is combined with a direct waveform compensation method. that does not sacrifice high-speed calculation. Numerical simulations and an experiment confirm that the proposed method can realize fast, robust, and high-resolution 3-D imaging for arbitrary targets.

Previously, we proposed a high-resolution 3-D imaging algorithm for UWB radar, the Envelope algorithm with adaptive smoothing techniques. The Envelope imaging algorithm utilizes the principle that the target boundary is expressed as an envelope of spheres determined by observed ranges, while the range smoothing techniques stabilize the estimated image produced by the Envelope algorithm by adaptively changing the range smoothing method. Numerical simulations confirm that the maximum error of this algorithm is less than 0.015 center wavelength. In this study, we apply the Envelope algorithm with adaptive smoothing techniques to high resolution 3-D acoustic imaging, which is a promising form of accurate nondestructive testing, and evaluate the performance of this algorithm with experimental data. The results verify that the proposed method achieves high-resolution 3-D acoustic imaging. The mean error of the estimated image is 6.1μm which corresponds to 8.2×10^<-3> center wavelength.

We extend the reversible transform for mono-static radars to apply to bi-static radars to reduce the data acquisition time. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified with numerical simulations and experiments.

We clarify by numerical simulation that the proposed method can realize a level of robust and fast imaging that cannot be achieved by the original SEABED.

We have already proposed an efficient algorithm for a shape estimation method SEABED which is a fast algorithm based on a reversible transform. SEABED extracts quasi wavefronts from received signals with the filter that matches the transmitted waveform. However, the scattered waveform is, in general, different from the transmitted one depending on the shape of targets. This difference causes estimation errors in SEABED. In this paper, we propose an accurate algorithm for a polygonal-target based on scattered waveform estimation. The proposed method is presented first, followed by results of numerical simulations and experiments that show the efficiency of the proposed method.
