Three-dimensional electromagnetic imaging of dielectric targets by means of the multiscaling inexact-Newton method

A novel approach for three-dimensional electromagnetic imaging is presented. This technique is a combination of an iterative multiscaling approach with an inexact-Newton method. The multiscaling procedure allows one to iteratively focus the region of interest on the detected target, whereas the inexact-Newton method provides an efficient regularized solution of the nonlinear electromagnetic inverse scattering problem for each scaling step. The proposed method is validated against numerical data with different configuration settings. A preliminary experimental validation is also reported.
