Abstract

Recent results in radar imaging using estimation theoretic techniques are applied to forming images from data from a compact radar range. Nonparametric maximum likelihood methods based on spline approximations are used. The object imaged is a one meter diameter sphere covered with wrinkled aluminum foil. This rough sphere approximately fits the diffuse model and the ideal scattering function for a rough rotating sphere is known. The results shown demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is realizable and that the image are comparable to simulations.©1993 John Wiley & Sons Inc
