Focus Session Description

• The aim of this session is to explore recent advances in radar techniques designed to enable high-resolution imaging in challenging and heterogeneous scenarios.
• The session covers developments in ground-based SAR (GBSAR), near-field ISAR, ground penetrating radar (GPR), and through-wall imaging radar (TWIR), rubble-penetrating radar (RPR) systems, including novel algorithms, hardware architectures, and emerging applications.

Focus Session Motivation

• The emphasis is expected to be on innovative signal processing methods, target detection and classification approaches, and multi-modal radar integration strategies that aim to resolve surface, subsurface and structurally obscured scenes with greater precision.
• Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the latest research trends and future developments in improving radar imaging performance in complex environments.
