A Target Shape Estimation Algorithm for Pulse Radar Systems Based on Boundary Scattering Transform

Abstract

SUMMARY Environment measurement is an important issue for various applications including household robots. Pulse radars are promising candidates in a near future. Estimating target shapes using waveform data, which we obtain by scanning an omni-directional antenna, is known as one of ill-posed inverse problems. Parametric methods such as Model-fitting method have problems concerning calculation time and stability. We propose a non-parametric algorithm for high-resolution estimation of target
