    Imaging of rough surfaces by RTM method
    (IEEE, 2024) Sefer, Ahmet; Yapar, Ali; Yelkenci, Tanju
    An electromagnetic imaging framework is implemented utilizing a single frequency reverse time migration (RTM) technique to accurately reconstruct inaccessible two-dimensional (2D) rough surface profiles from the knowledge of scattered field data. The unknown surface profile, which is expressed as a 1D height function, is either perfectly electric conducting (PEC) or an interface between two penetrable media. For both cases, it is assumed that the surface is illuminated by a number of line sources located in the upper medium. The scattered fields, which should be collected by real measurements in practical applications, are obtained synthetically by solving the associated direct scattering problem through the surface integral equations. RTM is subsequently applied to generate a cross-correlation imaging functional which is evaluated numerically and provides a 2D image of the region of interest. A high correlation is observed by the functional in the regions where the transitions between two media occur. Hence, it results in the acquisition of the unknown surface profile at the sites where the functional attains its highest values. The efficiency of the proposed method is comprehensively tested by numerical examples covering various types of scattering scenarios.

    Recovery of impenetrable rough surface profiles via CNN-based deep learning architecture
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022-08-18) Aydın, İzde; Budak, Güven; Sefer, Ahmet; Yapar, Ali
    In this paper, a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based deep learning (DL) architecture for the solution of an electromagnetic inverse problem related to imaging of the shape of the perfectly electric conducting (PEC) rough surfaces is addressed. The rough surface is illuminated by a plane wave and scattered field data is obtained synthetically through the numerical solution of surface integral equations. An effective CNN-DL architecture is implemented through the modelling of the rough surface variation in terms of convenient spline type base functions. The algorithm is numerically tested with various scenarios including amplitude only data and shown that it is very effective and useful.

    Inverse scattering by perfectly electric conducting (PEC) rough surfaces: an equivalent model with line sources
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Sefer, Ahmet; Yapar, Ali
    This paper presents a new method for the reconstruction of the perfectly electric conducting (PEC) rough surface profiles by utilizing electromagnetic waves. The inaccessible rough surface is illuminated by a tapered plane electromagnetic wave and the scattered field data are measured on a certain number of points above the surface under test. The method for the inverse electromagnetic imaging problem is based on a special representation of the scattered field in terms of a finite number of fictitious discrete line sources located along a plane below the rough surface. The current densities of these fictitious sources are obtained through the regularized solution of an ill-posed problem. Then, it is shown that the image of the rough surface can be directly retrieved by seeking the points in the space where the tangential component of the total electric field vanishes. Alternatively, a much more rigorous iterative method based on a regularized Newton algorithm is also presented. A comprehensive numerical analysis is provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the presented approach. In this context, the quantitative successes of both approaches are interpreted by considering a very sensitive ?2-norm based error function between the actual and the reconstructed surface profiles. Regarding different scattering scenarios taken into account, the error values obtained for satisfactory reconstructions are generally in the range of 10% - 30% for both methods. It is also shown that the presented algorithms are capable of reconstructing the rough surfaces which oscillate for every ? horizontally and have a peak to peak variation 0.5? at most.
