Application of a Surface Reconstruction Method for Material Penetrating UWB Radar

Although there exist a lot of imaging methods which were especially developed or adapted for pulse based radar data, the obtained image is often not satisfying. This paper describes the implementation of a surface reconstruction algorithm for ultra-wideband (UWB) radar systems. It was applied to real radar data and it will be shown that even in the case of overlapping echoes of the object and the wall, the object can be clearly distinguished and identified.
