Abstract

Scene imaging simulation is an indispensable work in passive millimeter-wave object detection and remote sensing. In this paper, a 3-D scene simulation model of passive millimeter-wave imaging based on ray-tracing is presented, with consideration of the essential affecting factors such as multiple reflections, sky radiation, polarization rotation and antenna pattern smoothing. In order to accelerate the ray-tracing process in simulation model, a fast ray-triangle intersection algorithm is adopted. The outdoor imaging experiment and scene imaging simulation are carried out to validate the presented method at 94GHz. From the results, it is shown that the speed of scene imaging simulation process is significantly improved and the simulated image is in good agreement with the measured brightness temperature image.
