1 Introduction

Mapping of scenes behind obstacles (including building wallrubbers grass etc) using through-wall imaging (TWI) isan unfolded research domain Different military and com-mercial applications (including antiterrorism hostage rescueand surveillance etc [1]) can benefit from TWI Besideother challenges minimization of unwanted artifacts (clut-tersnoise) has enjoyed special importance over last few years[2ndash13] These unwanted artifacts significantly decrease targetdetection and recognition capabilities

Existing TWI image enhancement (clutter removal) tech-niques include background scene subtraction (only feasibleif with and without target images are available) [2] spatialfiltering (assuming wall homogeneity at low frequencies) [3]wall modeling and subtraction (requiring complex processfor inhomogeneous walls) [4 5] Doppler filtering (applicableformoving targets only) [6] image fusion (requiringmultipledata of the same scene) [7] and statistical techniques [8ndash13]

In this paper a TWI image enhancement (clutter reduc-tion) technique using QR decomposition (QRD) and fuzzylogic is presented (preliminary results presented in [13])Weights are assigned to different QRD subspaces using fuzzyinference engine Simulation results evaluated using meansquare error (MSE) peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR)improvement factor (IF) and visual inspection (based on

miss detection (MD) and false detection (FD)) are used toverify the proposed scheme

Figure 1 shows the original B-scan containing two targetsthe background subtracted reference and enhanced imagesusing existing SVD and proposed QRD based schemes Itcan be observed that proposed schemes detect both targetswhereas SVD based scheme is unable to locate both targetsaccurately

Figure 2 shows another example containing three targetsThe proposed scheme detects all targets and provides a bettertarget to background ratio compared to SVDbased scheme Itis further noted that the proposed TS inference based schemeprovides better results compared to PIE

Table 2 shows that proposed fuzzy QRD schemes arebetter (as compared to the SVD image enhancement scheme)in terms of MSE PSNR IF MD and FD

QRD and fuzzy logic based image enhancement scheme isproposed for TWI Compared with SVD QRD provides lesscomputational complexity PIE and TS inference engines areused to assign weights to different QRD subspaces Simu-lation results compared on visual and quantitative analysisshow the significance of the proposed scheme

3 Simulation and Results

Experimental setup for TWI is constructed using Agilentrsquosvector network analyzer (VNA) which generates steppedfrequency waveforms between 2GHz and 3GHz (1GHzband width (BW)) having step size of Δ119891 = 5MHz and stepsize 119873119891 = 201 Maximum range is 119877max = 30m and rangeresolution is Δ119877 = 015m

Broadband horn antenna which is mounted on two-dimensional scanning frame (having dimensions 24m times

3m (width times height) and can slide along cross rangeand height) operates in monostatic mode with 12 dB gainThickness of the wall is 5 cm and relative permittivity andpermeability are 23 and 1 respectively The frame is placed003m away from wall and scanning is controlled by amicrocontroller basedmechanismThe scattering parametersare recorded at each step and transferred to a local computerfor image reconstruction and processing Received data isconverted into time domain and beamforming algorithm isused for image reconstruction Existing and proposed image

MD is defined as ldquotarget was present in the original imagebut was not detected in enhanced imagerdquo FD is defined asldquotarget was not present in the original image but was detectedin enhanced imagerdquo For calculating FD and MD a thresholdis calculated using global thresholding algorithm [18]

Figure 1 shows the original B-scan containing two targetsthe background subtracted reference and enhanced imagesusing existing SVD and proposed QRD based schemes Itcan be observed that proposed schemes detect both targetswhereas SVD based scheme is unable to locate both targetsaccurately

Figure 2 shows another example containing three targetsThe proposed scheme detects all targets and provides a bettertarget to background ratio compared to SVDbased scheme Itis further noted that the proposed TS inference based schemeprovides better results compared to PIE

Table 2 shows that proposed fuzzy QRD schemes arebetter (as compared to the SVD image enhancement scheme)in terms of MSE PSNR IF MD and FD

4 Conclusion

QRD and fuzzy logic based image enhancement scheme isproposed for TWI Compared with SVD QRD provides lesscomputational complexity PIE and TS inference engines areused to assign weights to different QRD subspaces Simu-lation results compared on visual and quantitative analysisshow the significance of the proposed scheme

3 Simulation and Results

Experimental setup for TWI is constructed using Agilentrsquosvector network analyzer (VNA) which generates steppedfrequency waveforms between 2GHz and 3GHz (1GHzband width (BW)) having step size of Δ119891 = 5MHz and stepsize 119873119891 = 201 Maximum range is 119877max = 30m and rangeresolution is Δ119877 = 015m

Broadband horn antenna which is mounted on two-dimensional scanning frame (having dimensions 24m times

3m (width times height) and can slide along cross rangeand height) operates in monostatic mode with 12 dB gainThickness of the wall is 5 cm and relative permittivity andpermeability are 23 and 1 respectively The frame is placed003m away from wall and scanning is controlled by amicrocontroller basedmechanismThe scattering parametersare recorded at each step and transferred to a local computerfor image reconstruction and processing Received data isconverted into time domain and beamforming algorithm isused for image reconstruction Existing and proposed image

average pixel values of target and clutter in enhanced imagerespectively 119875119872119905 and 119875119872119888 are average pixel values of targetand clutter in the original image respectively

MD is defined as ldquotarget was present in the original imagebut was not detected in enhanced imagerdquo FD is defined asldquotarget was not present in the original image but was detectedin enhanced imagerdquo For calculating FD and MD a thresholdis calculated using global thresholding algorithm [18]

Figure 1 shows the original B-scan containing two targetsthe background subtracted reference and enhanced imagesusing existing SVD and proposed QRD based schemes Itcan be observed that proposed schemes detect both targetswhereas SVD based scheme is unable to locate both targetsaccurately

Figure 2 shows another example containing three targetsThe proposed scheme detects all targets and provides a bettertarget to background ratio compared to SVDbased scheme Itis further noted that the proposed TS inference based schemeprovides better results compared to PIE

Table 2 shows that proposed fuzzy QRD schemes arebetter (as compared to the SVD image enhancement scheme)in terms of MSE PSNR IF MD and FD

4 Conclusion

QRD and fuzzy logic based image enhancement scheme isproposed for TWI Compared with SVD QRD provides lesscomputational complexity PIE and TS inference engines areused to assign weights to different QRD subspaces Simu-lation results compared on visual and quantitative analysisshow the significance of the proposed scheme
