Abstract

In this paper, the solution of the inverse scattering problem for determining the shape and location of perfectly conducting scatterers by making use of electromagnetic scattered fields is presented. Based on the boundary condition and the measured scattered field, a set of nonlinear integral equations is derived and the imaging problem is reformulated into an optimization one. Then, two evolutionary algorithms are used to solve the inverse scattering problem. To further clarify, our contribution is to test two well-known algorithms in the literature to the problem of microwave imaging. The hybrid approaches combine the standard particle swarm optimization (PSO) with the ideas of the simulated annealing and extremal optimization algorithms, respectively. Both of them are shown to be more efficient than original PSO technique. Reconstruction results by using the two presented schemes are compared with exact shapes of some conducting cylinders; and good agreements with the original shapes are observed.
