A novel approach for Sparse Imaging of Through-wall Radar

Abstract

Abstract Aiming at the problem of segmented weak orthogonal matching pursuit (SWOMP) imaging blur in the process of through-wall radar (TWR) imaging, a dynamic threshold weak orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm (DWOMP) is introduced in this paper, which can significantly improve the imaging performance. Firstly, the TWR compressed sensing simulation model and over-complete dictionary are established by using Chirp signal radar echo data. Then the specific process of DWOMP algorithm is proposed and used to reconstruct multi-sparse target scenes. Finally, the DWOMP algorithm is compared with Basis Pursuit (BP) algorithm and SWOMP algorithm through simulation experiments. The simulation results show that in the same experimental conditions, the imaging time of DWOMP algorithm is about 3/5 of that of BP algorithm, and the imaging resolution of DWOMP algorithm is better than that of SWOMP algorithm.
