Novel Simulation Method for Sub-THz ISAR Imaging of Space Objects

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

In this paper we demonstrate the implementation and validation of a metaheuristic ISAR simulator, capable of generating sub-THz ISAR imagery of space objects for automatic image classification and target recognition. The simulator utilises graphical modelling software Blender and the inverse ray-Tracing engine Cycles, using geometric optics approximations to increase computational efficiency. Comparison with results of measurement and simulation in electromagnetic full-wave software have shown that the simulator is able to produce physically meaningful image results with remarkable accuracy, while dramatically reducing computation time.
