A novel outdoor synthetic aperture acoustic (SAA) system consists of a microphone and loudspeaker traveling along a 6.3-meter rail system. This is an extension from a prior indoor laboratory measurement system in which selected targets were insonified while suspended in air. Here, the loudspeaker and microphone are aimed perpendicular to their direction of travel along the rail. The area next to the rail is insonified and the microphone records the ...
A new technique which we call Iterative Redeployment of Illumination and Sensing (IRIS) is introduced and applied to See-Through-the-Wall radar imaging. IRIS is applicable to adaptive sensing scenarios where the medium is illuminated and measured multiple times using different illuminator/sensor configurations, e.g., position, bandwidth, or polarization. These configurations are adaptively selected to minimize uncertainty in the image reconstruction. The IRIS algorithm has the following features: (1) use of a sparse ...
