摘要
An imaging system uses wideband 'RF daylight' created by plural narrowband RF illumination sources, to passively generate spectrally different sets of RF scattering coefficients for multiple points within a prescribed three-dimensional volume being illuminated by the narrowband RF transmitters. To correct for the lack of mutual coherence among different RF illumination sources, the respective sets of scattering coefficient data are applied to a cultural feature extraction operator, to locate one or more strong cultural features spatially common to multiple images. For spatial points along the extracted cultural feature theoretical scattering coefficients are calculated. Differences between phase values of these calculated scattering coefficients and those of the collected and processed scattering energy are used to modify the measured scattering coefficient values for all spatial points in the illuminated region. This allows the scattering coefficients of that narrowband frequency set to be coherently combined with those of another spectrally different narrowband set of scattering coefficients whose phase components have been similarly corrected, based upon the same extracted cultural feature.
