Abstract

This chapter focuses on sparse reconstruction of targets in an indoor environment. Due to the front wall and surrounding scatterers, multipath propagation arises which is exploited to improve reconstruction results. The sparsity of the scene and the structure therein is leveraged to obtain a clean image from few measurements. Throughout this chapter, perfect knowledge of the room geometry is assumed and suppression of any wall or corner returns is required.
