Abstract
Electromagnetic inverse scattering techniques are considered to reconstruct the permittivity and the velocity profiles of axially moving cylindrical targets. Two approaches are proposed. One of these is based on a two-step procedure. It is shown that it provides good approximations of the profiles to be reconstructed in a very efficient way, when the peak velocity is small with respect to the speed of light in vacuum. These features are obtained by neglecting the movement in the first step, which is devoted to the reconstruction of the geometric and dielectric properties of the cylindrical targets. The second approach is more classical and is defined as a global optimization problem. It is shown that the two procedures are in some way complementary in the sense that, when the two-step procedure can be applied, it is by far the best, with the general procedure giving large errors; vice versa, the two-step procedure is in trouble when the other one gives good results. In carrying out this analysis, some estimates on the effects of the movement on the scattered field components are deduced in the limit as the peak velocity goes to zero.
