| Summary: | Wall-penetrating radar (WPR) is the device to image very small objects buried inside the wall. The small objects usually a few millimetres, whereas the bandwidth of WPR limits its resolution up to several centimetres. As a result, the target imaging result of the traditional method is ‘defocused’ in the range direction. To solve this problem, a near-field three-dimensional imaging algorithm based on matching filtering with multiple reference signals and selection processing is proposed. Instead of obtaining a focused image via coherent superposition processing, a focused image is determined by selecting an image from a plurality imaging results of different reference depths according to the minimum entropy criterion. The proposed algorithm is validated by imaging the computer simulation technology simulation data and the measured data.
