Abstract
A system and method determines a noise free image of a scene located behind a wall. A transmit antenna emits a radar pulse from different locations in front of the wall, wherein the radar pulses propagate through the wall and are reflected by the scene as echoes. A set of stationary receive antennas acquire the echoes corresponding to each pulse transmitted from each different location. A radar imaging subsystem connected to the transmit antenna and the set of receive antennas determines a noisy image of the scene for each location of the transmit antenna. A total variation denoiser denoises each noisy image to produce a corresponding denoised image. A combiner combines incoherently the denoised images to produce the noise free image.
