利用数字滤波技术的多视角分集数字图象重建

DIGITAL IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION FROM MULTIPLE ANGLE DIVERSITY USING DIGITAL FILTERING TECHNIQUES

微波衍射层析是从多视角的微波衍射场值中推出介质体内部结构之分布,该方法对介质体内的折射指数之变化非常敏感,因而可用于测量介质体的介电参数之变化和生物医学上软组织之成象。在满足一定的条件下该方法成象最佳分辨率是照射波的波长之半。实际上很难达到这样高的分辨率,现有两种措施来提高成象的分辨率:一是微波层析,用多视角测量数据反演成的数字图象进行线性组合;二是用数字滤波技术和滤波逆传播算法来提高图象重建的质量。本文最后为证实上述方法的可行性,建立起X波段微波成象测量系统,并得到空气中介质体的实验结果。

Microwave diffraction tomography is a process to infer the internal structure of an object from multiple angle views of microwave diffraction shadow. Sensitive to the variations in refractive index of the object the procedure can be used to measure the permittivity distributions within dielectric objects and to image soft tissues for biomedical applications. The optimal resolution distance obtainable is half a wavelength, but this can rarely be achieved because of practical limitations. Some procedures, however, are available to improve the practical resolution. One, which is suitable for microwave tomography, is to use multiple angle views data and to combine the resulting images. The other, which is suitable to improve the image reconstruction resolution, is to use the digital filtering technique and the filtered backpropagation algorithm. A system operation over the X-band microwave frequency is described and some experimental results for objects in air are givn.
