【 摘 要 】

The profile function of an object is defined as its transverse cross-sectional area versus distance along the observing direction and it is used by the ramp response technique to identify radar targets. Existing reconstruction algorithms have good performance with profile functions from 3 mutually orthogonal directions, while they give distorted results otherwise. To solve this inverse problem, we use the level set method, which iteratively deforms the shape of the target under a velocity field. An appropriate velocity is used and satisfactory reconstructed 3D images are presented for arbitrary directions.
