Investigation of microwave imaging techniques for monitoring grain bins

Microwave Tomography (MWT) is an emerging modality where the goal is to estimate the electrical properties of an object-of-interest. This is done by transmitting a microwave signal into the OI and collecting measurements outside the OI. The measurements are inputs to an optimization algorithm that solves for the unknown electrical properties. As this modality has […]
