نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with inverse scattering techniques based on genetic algorithms (GAs), and is devoted to microwave imaging and microwave nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT/NDE). In the framework of near-field spatial-domain algorithms, a brief overview of current trends and future developments of the research work is given. Numerical results of selected simulations, modeling realistic geometries, are presented in order to assess the effectiveness of the proposed optimization methodology. Finally, a discussion fixes some guidelines and points out the open problems to be addressed in order to enlarge the application area of GA-based inverse scattering techniques.

Microwave imaging of buried objects has been widely used in sensing and remote-sensing applications. It can be formulated and solved as inverse scattering problems. In this paper, we propose a hybrid numerical technique based on the parallel genetic algorithm (GA) and the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for determining the location and dimensions of two-dimensional inhomogeneous obj...
متن کاملMicrowave Imaging Algorithms Based on Genetic Algorithm
In this thesis, the GA-based reconstruction algorithms were optimized by various techniques, the choice of the best setting, acceleration by custom hardware, and by taking advantages of the problem nature (i.e., if a high contrast exists). Those techniques are applied for 1D and 2D only. We showed that the choice of the appropriate settings for the GA parameters for 1D inverse scattering proble...

An efficient method for scattering Genetic Algorithm (GA) individuals in the design space is proposed to accelerate airfoil shape optimization. The method used here is based on the variation of the mutation rate for each gene of the chromosomes by taking feedback from the current population. An adaptive method for airfoil shape parameterization is also applied and its impact on the optimum desi...

متن کاملA Data Focusing method for Microwave Imaging of Extended Targets
This paper presents a data focusing method (DFM) to image extended targets using the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. The restriction on the number of transmitter-receiver antennas in a microwave imaging system deteriorates profiling an extended target that comprises many point scatterers. Under such situation, the subspace-based linear inverse scattering methods, like the MUSI...
