Abstract

See full text

A method and system for generating an image of a scene behind a wall, wherein the scene is represented as a grid, by first transmitting a radar pulse through the wall using a transmitter and receiving a set of echoes corresponding to the radar pulse being reflected by the scene in a receiver at a known location. Based on the location, an imaging operator that relates the set of echoes to the grid is determined. Using the imaging operator, a sparse delay kernel that matches a response of a current image to a similar response in the set of echoes is determined. Then, the current image is updated, based on the set of echoes, the imaging operator, and the sparse delay kernel. The transmitting, the receiving, the determining, the obtaining, and the updating steps are repeated for different locations until a termination condition is reached.
