An inverse scattering method based on contour deformations by means of a level set method using frequency hopping technique

摘要

A shape reconstruction method for electromagnetic tomography based on contour deformations by means of a level set method is proposed. The level set method adds quite valuable features to the inverse procedure such as natural regularization of the contours and automatic breaking and merging capability. The frequency hopping technique turns out to be a key point of the inverse scattering procedure. The numerical results clearly indicate that the use of this inversion algorithm yields to accurate reconstructions of one or several objects from one initial guess object, even with noise-contaminated data and limited coverage of the fields.
