title: A Reconstruction Procedure for Microwave Nondestructive Evaluation based on a Numerically Computed Green's Function
ispublished: inpress
subjects: TU
full_text_status: public
keywords: Imaging Systems, Imaging Processing, Material Characterization, Green’s Function, Genetic Algorithms
note: Presented at IMTC2003, special session on Imaging Systems; submited for consideration for publication, special issue IMTC2003 of the IEEE Transactions on Intrumentation and Measurement
abstract: This paper describes a new microwave diagnostic tool for nondestructive evaluation. The approach, developed in the spatial domain, is based on the numerical computation of the inhomogeneous Green’s function in order to fully exploit all the available a-priori information of the domain under test. The heavy reduction of the computational complexity of the proposed procedure (with respect to standard procedures based on the free-space Green’s function) is also achieved by means of a customized hybrid-coded genetic algorithm. In order to assess the effectiveness of the method, the results of several simulations are presented and discussed.
