Multi-Frequency GPR Microwave Imaging of Sparse Targets through a Multi-Task Bayesian Compressive Sensing Approach
An innovative inverse scattering (<i>IS</i>) method is proposed for the quantitative imaging of pixel-sparse scatterers buried within a lossy half-space. On the one hand, such an approach leverages on the wide-band nature of ground penetrating radar (<i>GPR</i>) data by joint...

An innovative inverse scattering (<i>IS</i>) method is proposed for the quantitative imaging of pixel-sparse scatterers buried within a lossy half-space. On the one hand, such an approach leverages on the wide-band nature of ground penetrating radar (<i>GPR</i>) data by jointly processing the multi-frequency (<i>MF</i>) spectral components of the collected radargrams. On the other hand, it enforces sparsity priors on the problem unknowns to yield regularized solutions of the fully non-linear scattering equations. Towards this end, a multi-task Bayesian compressive sensing (<i>MT-BCS</i>) methodology is adopted and suitably customized to take full advantage of the available frequency diversity and of the a-priori information on the class of imaged targets. Representative results are reported to assess the proposed <i>MF-MT-BCS</i> strategy also in comparison with competitive state-of-the-art alternatives. |
