Three-dimensional reconstruction of objects buried in layered media using Born and distorted Born iterative methods

We develop electromagnetic inverse scattering methods to reconstruct three-dimensional (3-D) objects buried in layered media. The nonlinear inverse problem is solved iteratively via the conjugate-gradient approach; within each iteration, the problem is linearized by Born and distorted Born approximations. The forward solution for layered media is provided by the stabilized biconjugate-gradient fast Fourier transform method. The inversion results from the Born and distorted Born iterative methods are presented, and the effects of the aperture size and noise on the inversion results are also investigated. Numerical results show that these methods are capable of reconstructing an arbitrary 3-D inhomogeneous object buried in a multilayered medium with high resolution.     

Application of an Inexact-Newton Method Within the Second-Order Born Approximation to Buried Objects

The imaging of buried objects is a challenging topic in electromagnetic research. In this letter, a method previously proposed for imaging of scatterers in free-space is extended to the case of objects buried in a lossy half-space. The proposed approach is based on the solution of the underlying inverse-scattering problem within the second-order Born approximation by means of a two-step inexact-Newton algorithm. The capabilities and limitations of the method are evaluated by means of some numerical simulations. Furthermore, comparisons with the free-space approach are also reported

Shape Reconstruction of Perfectly Conducting Targets From Single-Frequency Multiview Data

In this letter, we address the problem of reconstructing the shape of a perfectly conducting object illuminated by a set of plane waves at a fixed frequency. The proposed method is made up of two parts. In the first one, for each incident wave, the field in the vicinity of a scatterer is reconstructed by means of a regularized single-layer potential approach. In the second part, the reconstructed fields are simultaneously exploited to build a system of polynomial equations whose solution yields to the unknown contour. As shown by numerical examples, the method is effective, robust against noise on data, and provides satisfactory reconstructions for star-shaped scatterers.      

Image fusion by spatially adaptive filtering using downscaling cokriging

The aim of this paper was to extend the method of downscaling cokriging for image fusion by making the method spatially adaptive in that the filter parameters (cokriging weights) can change across the image. The method can adapt itself to the usual statistical non-homogeneity (spatially variable mean, variance and correlation length) of a satellite sensor image that covers an area with different spatial patterns of geographical objects or different terrain types. The solution adopted was to estimate the models of covariances and cross-covariances (or semivariograms and cross-semivariograms) by the same procedure as described in Pardo-Iguzquiza et al. (2006) but with the method applied locally instead of globally. The correct implementation of this local estimation is the key for computational feasibility and prediction efficiency. Two parameters to be taken into account are the grid of locations on which a moving window is centred (local modelling is performed inside this window) and the size of this moving window. With respect to the latter parameter, there is a trade-off between a size small enough to make the procedure locally adaptive and large enough to produce reliable statistical estimates. The computational burden will impose limits to the distance between grid points on which the local moving window is centred. A case study with Landsat ETM+ images was used to show the implementation of the method and the result was evaluated using several statistics widely used for assessing the quality of a fused image, apart from its visual appearance.     

A shape-based segmentation method for mobile laser scanning point clouds

Segmentation of mobile laser point clouds of urban scenes into objects is an important step for post-processing (e.g., interpretation) of point clouds. Point clouds of urban scenes contain numerous objects with significant size variability, complex and incomplete structures, and holes or variable point densities, raising great challenges for the segmentation of mobile laser point clouds. This paper addresses these challenges by proposing a shape-based segmentation method. The proposed method first calculates the optimal neighborhood size of each point to derive the geometric features associated with it, and then classifies the point clouds according to geometric features using support vector machines (SVMs). Second, a set of rules are defined to segment the classified point clouds, and a similarity criterion for segments is proposed to overcome over-segmentation. Finally, the segmentation output is merged based on topological connectivity into a meaningful geometrical abstraction. The proposed method has been tested on point clouds of two urban scenes obtained by different mobile laser scanners. The results show that the proposed method segments large-scale mobile laser point clouds with good accuracy and computationally effective time cost, and that it segments pole-like objects particularly well.
